Understanding How Women Vote

Gender Identity and Political Choices

KELLY L. WINFREY

women’s vote has been important in nearly every election since the 1980s, it’s critical
to understand why this gender gap exists and what it means for American politics. This
thought-provoking study offers an accessible introduction to research on gender and
elections while providing new insights into women’s voting behaviors.
