More Women Can Run: why women remain underrepresented in politics

LSE Institute of Public Affairs and Political Studies Association public lecture


Susan Carroll will present the 2014 Political Studies Association (PSA) annual lecture to highlight an impressive data span to argue convincingly that women's pathways to elected office are varied and sometimes unique. Carroll will also talk about the problems that Hillary Clinton faced the last time she ran for President and what she might encounter in 2016, if she decides to run as expected

Susan J Carroll is Professor of Political Science and Women’s and Gender Studies at Rutgers University and also Senior Scholar at the Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP) of the Eagleton Institute of Politics. She has authored numerous books on women’s political participation, including: Women as Candidates in American Politics (Second Edition, Indiana University Press 1994); Gender and Elections: Shaping the Future of American Politics (Third Edition, Cambridge University Press 2014, with Richard L. Fox); Women and American Politics: New Questions, New Directions (Oxford University Press 2003); and The Impact of Women in Public Office (Indiana University Press 2001). Her latest book is More Women Can Run: Gender and Pathways to the State Legislature (Oxford University Press 2013, with Kira Sanbonmatsu).
