However, descriptive studies of female legislators tend to treat identity as constant over time and context and so fail to account for the substantive work of legislators. As Sisters in the Statehouse shows, it is not enough to disaggregate women from Blacks. While scholars have long advanced the notion that African American women as a group exhibit specificities informed by the intersection of race and gender that provide them with a unique worldview, it is necessary to further explore differences among Black women. This book addresses this gap by utilizing humanistic inquiry to examine the connection between descriptive and substantive representation in the case of Black women legislators. This link hinges on how such legislators see the effects of their own race-gender identity on their legislative work. By combining humanistic and social science techniques, including feminist life histories, elite interviews, and participant observation in conjunction with legislative case studies and bill sponsorship data, Nadia E. Brown presents a fuller description of how identity informs Black women state legislators descriptive and substantive representation. Linking personal narratives to political behavior, Brown elicits the feminist life histories of African American women legislators to understand how their experiences with racism and sexism have influenced their legislative decision-making and policy preferences. Sisters in the Statehouse is a groundbreaking inquiry into how an intersectional approach can enhance our understanding of political representation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50300663169297,"sku":"CIN0199352437VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50913875722513,"sku":"CIN0199352437G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52123040284945,"sku":"NLS9780199352432","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B00KN3U8V0.jpg?v=1751259105"},{"product_id":"leading-like-a-lady-book-nadia-brown-9780989529501","title":"Leading Like a Lady","description":"Leading Like a Lady: How to Shatter Your Inner Glass Ceiling by Dr. Nadia Brown At a time when women outnumber men in the workplace, hold more than 51 percent of managerial positions, and start new businesses every 60 seconds, many women still feel that their careers are impeded by glass ceilings, glass walls, glass cliffs, or glass cages.

Started by Tarana Burke in 2007 to stand with young women of color who survived sexual assault, the MeToo campaign was intended to let women know that they were not alone. In turn, the Women’s Caucus for Political Science used #MeTooPoliSci to bring awareness to sexual harassment, assault and misconduct in the discipline. The essays in this book and the authors’ scholarly activism, harnessed a collective power to dispel the shame, embarrassment and secrecy that surrounds these issues. They focus in particular on bullying, entitled and toxic forms of masculinity; systematic discounting of and dismissiveness and derision toward work on gender and sexuality; biases and inequities associated with hiring, teaching evaluations, service loads, and tenure and promotion; and related and often intersecting forms of harassment but not only those related to race and sexuality. The essays in this volume stem for the 2018 pre-conference held by the Women’s Caucus for Political Science at the American Political Science Association’s annual meeting.     Me Too Political Science is of great importance not only to scholars interested in Gender and Women’s Studies, but all those working in the Political Science discipline – and even beyond, to academia as a whole. The chapters were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Women, Politics and Policy.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51223967039761,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51223969366289,"sku":"NIN9781032082240","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52402632032529,"sku":"NLS9781032082240","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1032082240.jpg?v=1750950840"},{"product_id":"me-too-political-science-book-nadia-brown-9780367857066","title":"Me Too Political Science","description":"Me Too Political Science explores the multiple manifestations and implications of gendered biases in Political Science by connecting the dots between the sexual harassment described in the recent Report on 2017 APSA Survey on Sexual Harassment at Annual Meetings and other problematic issues.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52521359409425,"sku":"NLS9780367857066","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53080859443473,"sku":"NIN9780367857066","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780367857066.jpg?v=1760569662"},{"product_id":"becoming-the-life-musings-of-a-girl-poet-book-nadia-brown-9781365045837","title":"Becoming: the Life \u0026 Musings of a Girl Poet","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52778089185553,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52778089447697,"sku":"NIN9781365045837","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781365045837.jpg?v=1763921037"},{"product_id":"unscrambled-eggs-book-nadia-brown-9781105651946","title":"Unscrambled Eggs","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53495104110865,"sku":"NIN9781105651946","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781105651946.jpg?v=1777852103"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-nadia-brown.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
