Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the campaign history of California's women legislators and the increasingly complex strategies they used in efforts to transcend gender barriers when running for office from 1912 to 1970. Nearly 500 women ran on the primary ballots, re-gendering the political landscape while struggling against a recurring historical amnesia.
