When Does Gender Matter?: Test Bank for Dolan’s Study on Women Candidates and Gender Stereotypes in American Elections, 4th Edition by Kathleen Dolan

Breaking the Mold: Understanding the Impact of Gender Stereotypes

In this groundbreaking study, Kathleen Dolan challenges conventional wisdom on the influence of gender stereotypes on women candidates in American elections. Through a comprehensive national survey of over 3000 adults, Dolan reveals that voters’ attitudes towards women candidates are not as decisive as previously thought.
