Brief Overview

See Jane Run: How Women Politicians Matter for Young People (University of Chicago Press)
Authors: David Campbell and Christina Wolbrecht
From Kamala Harris to Nikki Haley, women in public life are expected to inspire young people. This book provides definitive analysis of women politicians as role models. With data on gender, race, and party, Campbell and Wolbrecht find women in politics help convince young people that women are capable of political leadership. For young women, women role models enhance faith in democracy and inspire political engagement, including running for office. Women politicians help ensure a more inclusive democracy.
