"Great textbook. I have used it for several semesters."--Pat Washington, San Diego State University"Women, Media, and Politics is an ideal reader for the interdisciplinary study of women and American media and politics. I recommend the text for use in gender studies, communication, and political science courses, and I look forward to using it."--Jean M. Ward, Lewis and Clark College"This is an outstanding collection of readings that are current and on an important area of public policy. They should prove to be a catalyst for classroom discussion."--Dr. Robert Langran, Villanova University"A realistic appraisal of what women candidates face as they meet the press which are more likely to focus on one woman doing something outlandish than a lot of women doing something historic."--Anita Perez Ferguson, President of the National Women's Political Caucus"This latest collection edited by Norris includes works by some of the finest media and gender scholars in the US....Everett Ladd's clearly written and intelligently argued chapter on how the media talk about the gender gap is especially commendable. In the final section, Andrew Kohut and Kimberly Parker have a strong piece on gender and talk-back radio....The good articles are so good that students and scholars alike will want this collection for their own."-- hoice
