Description:

In 2006, women hold 81, or 15.1%, of the 535 seats in the 109th US Congress and 22.8%, of the 7,382 state legislators' seats in the United States. Why don't more women run? Why don't more women win? Does it matter? Topics will include the fight to get the vote, the gender gap in voting and what it means; the leadership styles of women. Students are expected to engage in off-campus activities that connect them to women who work in the political sphere, broadly defined.
