The CAWP Series in Gender and American Politics publishes innovative work on gender and politics. The editors invite manuscripts that push the boundaries of current thinking about the intersection of gender and politics; that demonstrate the centrality of gender to our understanding of American democracy; that are attentive to linkages among theory, empirical analysis, and political practice; and that study under-represented groups and under-researched topics within the field of women and politics. They encourage work that recognizes how other categories of analysis, including race, ethnicity, class, and sexuality, help to constitute and inform gender politics. The series is open to a variety of methodological approaches and favors projects that employ multiple or innovative methods.

The CAWP Series in Gender and American Politics is published by the University of Michigan Press in association with CAWP.
