{"product_id":"women-transforming-congress-cindy-simon-rosenthal-9780806134963","title":"Women Transforming Congress: Volume 4","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the first to one of the most recent--Jeannette Rankin (Montana, 1916) to Hillary Rodham Clinton (New York, 2001)--only two hundred women have ever served in the U.S. Congress. Have these relatively few women changed the predominantly masculine institution in which they serve? Have women as voters, activists, staff, and members made a difference? Edited by Cindy Simon Rosenthal, Women Transforming Congress examines the increasing influence of women on Congress and the ways in which gender defines and shapes Congress as a political institution.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten by women in politics and leading scholars on Congress, the essays in this volume go beyond the limitations of prior research through their diverse analytical approaches and singular historical breadth. The volume follows women on the campaign trail, in committee rooms, in floor debate, and in policy deliberations where previously the focus was on men's interests and activities. A gallery of photographs showing notable women from their earliest years of involvement with Congress to the present complements the essays.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cindy Simon Rosenthal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0806134968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780806134963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Oklahoma Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/17\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.56h x 6.06w x 1.15d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWomen's Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2003 pg. 13","brand":"Cindy Simon Rosenthal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46334425202943,"sku":"9780806134963","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e88a0b15-ce6a-467e-a576-83f929fee75d.jpg?v=1731466799","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-transforming-congress-cindy-simon-rosenthal-9780806134963","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
