The panel, which also included Sara Blanco of Running Start, Kat Calvin of Spread the Vote, Erin Loos Cutraro of She Should Run, and Erin Vilardi of Vote Run Lead, was an inspiring discussion that sought to empower women with the tools, language, and perspective to run. Attendees came away with guidelines on the do's and don'ts for advocating for your community and making a difference in your neighbors' lives.

New Book in the CAWP Series in Gender and American Politics
|
The University of Michigan Press CAWP Series in Gender and American Politics, which publishes innovative work that pushes the boundaries of current thinking about the intersection of gender and politics, has released a new book in the series, Who Runs? The Masculine Advantage in Candidate Emergence. The book, which comes from Meredith Conroy (California State University, San Bernardino) and Sarah Oliver (Towson University), focuses on the candidate emergence process (recruitment, perceived qualifications, and ambition), and investigates the effects of individuals' gender personality on these variables to improve theories of women's underrepresentation in government. Learn more about the CAWP Series here.
