Book Synopsis
What if there were more women in congress? Michele L. Swers demonstrates that, even though representatives often vote a party line, their gender is politically significant and does indeed influence policy making.

Trade Review
"In the first systematic, quantitative examination of the impact of women in the House of Representatives, Michele Swers provides a basis for evaluating the potential impact women might have were they in more influential positions. The Difference Women Make is an important contribution to the literature on women in politics and on Congress." - Barbara Sinclair, author of Unorthodox Lawmaking: New Legislative Processes in the U.S. Congress
