Sinopse

"Women's Political Discourse profiles women in the most highly visible political offices today, highlighting their communication strategies. Following a fascinating overview of women's political discourse from the early twentieth century, the book features select women governors, representatives, and senators of the past several decades, from Jeannette Rankin - the first women elected to the U.S. House of Representatives - to Hillary Rodham Clinton. The authors compare women's and men's political communication techniques and include helpful lists of the women governmental leaders of the twentieth and the twenty-first centuries. Exploring women's unique approaches to governing, Women's Political Discourse seeks to lay out innovative approaches to leadership."--Jacket.
