Women And Elective Office: Past, Present, And Future is a comprehensive look at the history of women in politics, from their early struggles for the right to vote to their current successes in holding elected office. The book is written in a clear and concise style, and it is packed with fascinating information and insights.

Past

The book begins by examining the early history of women in politics. In the United States, women were not granted the right to vote until 1920, and they faced many barriers to entering the political arena. Despite these challenges, a number of women did manage to win elected office in the early 20th century, including Jeannette Rankin, the first woman elected to Congress, and Mary McLeod Bethune, the first African American woman elected to Congress.

The book then traces the progress of women in politics in the years since 1920. In the 1960s and 1970s, the women's movement helped to open up new opportunities for women in all areas of society, including politics. As a result, the number of women holding elected office increased significantly.

Present

Today, women are making significant contributions to politics at all levels of government. In the United States, women hold 24% of seats in the House of Representatives and 25% of seats in the Senate. At the state level, women hold 28% of legislative seats and 25% of gubernatorial seats. And at the local level, women hold 32% of mayoral seats and 37% of city council seats.

The book provides a detailed look at the factors that have contributed to the progress of women in politics. These factors include the women's movement, the changing demographics of the United States, and the increasing acceptance of women in leadership roles.

Future

The book concludes by looking at the future of women in politics. The author argues that women will continue to make progress in the years to come. She cites a number of factors that will contribute to this progress, including the growing number of women in the electorate, the increasing educational attainment of women, and the changing attitudes towards women in leadership roles.

The book is a valuable resource for anyone who is interested in the history of women in politics or in the future of women in leadership. It is a well-written and informative book that provides a comprehensive look at the topic.
