  • Women and the Presidency
    Women and the Presidency By Cynthia Richie Terrell* I. Introduction As six women entered the field of Democratic presidential candidates in 2019, the political media rushed to declare 2020 a new “year of the woman.” In the Washington Post, one political commentator proclaimed that “2020 may be historic for women in more ways than one”1 given that four of these woman presidential candidates were already holding a U.S. Senate seat. A writer for Vox similarly hailed the “unprecedented range of solid women” seeking the nomination and urged Democrats to nominate one of them.2 Politico ran a piece definitively declaring that “2020 will be the year of the woman” and went on to suggest that the “Democratic primary landscape looks to be tilted to another woman presidential nominee.”3 The excited tone projected by the media carried an air of inevitability: after Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, despite receiving 2.8 million more popular votes than her opponent, ever more women were running for the presidency. There is a reason, however, why historical inevitably has not yet been realized. Although Americans have selected a president 58 times, a man has won every one of these contests. Before 2019, a major party’s presidential debates had never featured more than one woman. Progress toward gender balance in politics has moved at a glacial pace. In 1937, seventeen years after passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, Gallup conducted a poll in which Americans were asked whether they would support a woman for president “if she were qualified in every other respect?”4 * Cynthia Richie Terrell is the founder and executive director of RepresentWomen, an organization dedicated to advancing women’s representation and leadership in the United States.

  • Review Essay
    Review Essay The Highest Glass Ceiling: Women’s Quest for the American Presidency. By Ellen Fitzpatrick. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 2016. 318 pp. Notes, index. Cloth, $25.95. ISBN: 978-0-674-08893-1. Reviewed by Mary A. Yeager The Highest Glass Ceiling appeared just before the 2016 election. Hillary’s ghost hovers. The U.S. presidency remains a male stronghold with its glass ceiling intact. Fitzpatrick and her publisher undoubtedly saw opportunity in a probable Clinton victory. There is a brief prologue and epilogue about Clinton that bookends the biographies of three other women who competed for the presidency in different eras: Victoria Woodhull, the Equal Rights Party candidate in 1872; Margaret Chase Smith, the 1964 Republican nominee; and Shirley Chisholm, the 1972 Democratic challenger. In selecting these four women out of the two hundred or so other women who have either “sought, been nominated, or received votes for the office of the President,” Fitzpatrick adds an American puzzle to a growing and globalizing stream of research that has tackled the question of gender in political campaigns and in business (p. 5). Why have women been so disadvantaged relative to men as political leaders and top exec- utives, perhaps more so in the democratic market-oriented United States than almost anywhere else in the world? Scholars have begun to examine how women compete for the top executive jobs and the conditions under which they are successful. They have devised contemporary experiments using a variety of decision rules to understand how gender affects women’s and men’s participation in politics.

The goal is for each school to have access to a consistent source of information to assist in the infusion of the African American experience. With Sen. Kamala Harris the presumptive Vice President this month’s topic is the African American women in politics. As of the 2018 election, African american women were underrepresented in all areas of politics never having served as governor of a state, comprising 3.6 percent of the members of Congress and 3.7 percent of state legislators nationwide, less than 1 percent of elected executive officials, and of the mayors of the 100 most populous U.S. cities, five are black women (Branson. 2018). Yet African American women should be a force in politics. African american Women vote at a higher percentage than any other gender or racial group (Galofaro and Stafford, 2020). More and more African American Women are running and with base that votes, winning seats across the country.
