This book tells the story of the key races, revealing the underlying tales of voter and institutional reaction to the women candidates in America. It draws out themes and trends beyond the salient impact of the Clinton-Gore campaign and the Hill-Thomas hearings.
The 1992 American election saw more women running for office, at both local and national level, than ever before. The number of women elected increased by 50% in the House of Representatives and by a staggering 300% in the Senate. This book describes these key races, revealing the underlying tales of voter and institutional reactions to the women candidates and highlights the unprecedented levels of support garnered on their behalf.
