Foreword Reviews
<p>"Campbell and Wolbrecht, two of the world's leading scholars of civic engagement, showcase their unmatched expertise as they reveal how women in government impact political attitudes and engagementâparticularly among Americaâs youth. Focusing their lens on the modern political era, the authors present vast evidence to show that, when women hold elected office, they leave enduring impressions on young people across party and gender. This era-defining book offers an accessible and essential understanding of how our political representatives shape the voters we become."</p>
- Samara Klar | coauthor of "Partisan Hostility and American Democracy: Explaining Political Divisions and When They Matter",
<p><i>"See Jane Run </i>tackles the timely question of whether women politicians serve as role models for citizens, particularly young people. It offers a rich exploration of how exposure to women leaders influences political attitudes and actions, taking seriously variations across age, gender, race, and partisanship. The book carefully unpacks these dynamics, reconciling inconsistent findings from previous research and pushing the field forward. Thoroughly researched and carefully executed, yet also highly accessible, this is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in gender, representation, and political behavior."</p>
- Diana Z. O'Brien | Washington University in Saint Louis,
"In a nuanced, empirical inquiry using multiple analytical strategies and sources of evidence, Campbell and Wolbrecht interrogate the question of whether or not, under what circumstances, and with what effects, visible women in politics serve as role models for adolescent girls and boys. In the process, they provide a striking exception to the adage that 'Nobody does research like the people who tell you how to do research tell you how to do research.'"
