The impact of women in public office

Carroll, Susan J., 1950- (Added Author).

Summary: This volume examines the impact of women public officials serving in various offices and locales at local, state, and national levels. The essays included originated in a research project sponsored by the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. The subjects range from a very prominent US Senator who served from the early 1940s to the 1970s, to members of a New Jersey county council in the 1980s, to state legislators from across the country.
