Anticipating Madam President

Watson (political science, Florida Atlantic U.), Gordon (political science, Ohio U.) and other scholars discuss issues surrounding the eventual election of a woman as President of the United States. The 19 contributions consider what makes a viable candidate, how women candidates are portrayed in the media, and what challenges the first woman president will encounter in office. The volume concludes with an analysis of how the election of the first woman president will likely affect the nation, women, and the presidency. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
