Catherine Reyes-Housholder introduces a theory of gendered incentives and perceived potential to reveal why a political party would break with tradition and nominate a woman. She also shows how citizens respond when women candidates are running in incumbent parties or competing to displace those in power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on comparative research on the presidency and gender, \u003ci\u003eHow Women Win Presidential Elections in Latin America\u003c\/i\u003e examines the successful campaigns of Michelle Bachelet in Chile and Dilma Rousseff in Brazil, as well as why Blanca Ovelar lost her presidential race in Paraguay. Reyes-Housholder's findings indicate that voter sexism is not a major factor; however, women do not triumph in these elections in the same ways that men do. Rather, the central unknown factor behind women's victories is how they become candidates of major parties--and gender profoundly influences who parties nominate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHow Women Win Presidential Elections in Latin America\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable investigation of women and executive politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine Reyes-Housholder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439927103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439927106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Catherine Reyes-Housholder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440600363263,"sku":"9781439927106","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5e52c854-0f3b-4714-b1f3-34c504150bff.jpg?v=1777183531","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-women-win-presidential-elections-catherine-reyes-housholder-9781439927106","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
