Klappentext When Madam President moves into the Oval Office of the White House, she will share a path that several women have helped to pave. Often left off the history pages-and out of the minds of many Americans-are the presidential bids of several women: Margaret Chase Smith, 1964; Shirley Chisholm, 1972; Patricia Schroeder,1988; Elizabeth Dole, 2000; Carol Moseley Braun 2004; and Hillary Clinton, 2008/ 2016. Still Paving the Way for Madam President shows the progress women candidates have made as they have moved from symbolic candidates to viable candidates and in 2016, the Democratic nominee. This study shines a light on the persistent obstacles that face women candidates and offers insight into what it will take to finally shatter the seemingly impenetrable political glass ceiling. Zusammenfassung This book presents the obstacles and opportunities of six women who have run for president of the United States from 1964 to 2016.
