PSC 0255 Women in Politics

In 2017, women hold 104 of the 535 seats in the 115th US Congress. Why don’t more women run? Why don’t more women win? Does it matter? Topics will include the fight to get the vote, the gender gap in voting and what it means; the leadership styles of women. Students are expected to engage in off-campus activities that connect them to women who work in the political sphere, broadly defined.
