About us
The Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP), a unit of the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is nationally recognized as the leading source of scholarly research and current data about women’s political participation in the United States. Its mission is to promote greater knowledge and understanding about the role of women in American politics, enhance women's influence in public life, and expand the diversity of women in politics and government. CAWP’s education and outreach programs translate research findings into action, addressing women’s under-representation in political leadership with effective, intersectional, and imaginative programs serving a variety of audiences. As the world has watched Americans considering female candidates for the nation's highest offices, CAWP’s five decades of analyzing and interpreting women’s participation in American politics have provided a foundation and context for the discussion.

In South Carolina, three Republican women senators lost their seats after opposing a near-total abortion ban. Their stance garnered international recognition, including the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award. Sen. Katrina Shealy, the longest-serving among them, emphasized her unwavering commitment to women's rights and children's welfare during her farewell speech, highlighting the challenges faced by Republican women in state politics. Their advocacy brought attention to gender representation issues in the South Carolina Senate, which historically lags in women’s political participation. This serves as a reminder of the obstacles women continue to face in political spheres. CAWP plays a key role in tracking women’s representation and promoting gender parity, crucial for fostering inclusive and representative governance.
