Description

Book Synopsis
Examines the factors that make women politicians more electorally vulnerable than their male counterparts. These factors combine to convince women that they must work harder to win elections - a phenomenon that Jeffrey Lazarus and Amy Steigerwalt term gendered vulnerability.

Trade Review
Drawing on an incredible array of evidence, Jeffrey Lazarus and Amy Steigerwalt provide impressive new evidence that female legislators are better at their jobs than their male counterparts and important new theoretical reasoning that explains why this difference emerges. This book will be of broad interest to scholars of American politics, particularly those interested in how biases affect incentives and behavior."" - Justin Grimmer, Stanford University
