Women in American Politics: Will We Ever Have a Woman President?
Course | Registration opens 2/1/2027 8:00 AM EDT
This course focuses on women's journey from initially entering the electoral arena to the current situation. We ask whether we will ever have a woman president, looking at the barriers and opportunities. In addition, we will consider progress and its significance--what difference does it make?--to have more women legislators, executives, and judges at the state and federal level. What does the future hold?
