A multi-disciplinary review of the study of gender and politics through a communication lens. The book shows how gender stereotypes continue to influence how citizenry perceives politics and those who seek to participate in it. The book also includes an analysis of the 2022 midterm election cycle, exposing the lessons learned for 2024 and beyond.
Still today, the unequal and gendered distribution of power and participation in American politics remains perplexing. To address this challenge, Banwart and Bystrom examine the research from political communication, political science, and psychology to deepen our understanding of the intersection of gender and politics.
Starting with the most common theoretical approaches, they trace the history of women’s right to vote in the U.S., women’s political participation, the political socialization of U.S. citizens, gendered political candidate communication, and gendered media coverage. The authors demonstrate how gender stereotypes play an influential role in citizens’ perceptions of both politics and those seeking to participate in it. They conclude with an analysis of the 2022 midterm election cycle to expose lessons learned and existing barriers as we look to 2024 and beyond.
