Explore the persistent gender gap in political ambition with “It Still Takes A Candidate” by Jennifer L. Lawless and Richard L. Fox, available at The Bookish Owl. This insightful book offers the only nationwide empirical account of how gender influences the desire for political office. Drawing on extensive surveys of potential candidates, Lawless and Fox reveal that women, regardless of their professional achievements, are significantly less likely than men to express ambition, seek recruitment, feel qualified, or plan to run for office in the future. Discover why this gender disparity endures across generations and despite societal shifts, making public service a less appealing prospect for women than men. A crucial read for understanding modern politics.
