Gendered Vulnerability : How Women Work Harder to Stay in Office Paperback / softback
by Jeffrey Lazarus, Amy Steigerwalt
Part of the Legislative Politics And Policy Making series
Paperback / softback
Description
Gendered Vulnerability 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'. Since women feel constant pressure to make sure they can win reelection, they devote more of their time and energy to winning their constituents' favour.
Lazarus and Steigerwalt examine different facets of legislative behaviour, finding that female members do a better job of representing their constituents than male members.
