The Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP) Gender and Politics Research Hub has been designed to help readers more easily navigate the broad landscape of gender and politics research and make sense of the forces shaping women’s political progress.

While the Hub focuses on the United States context, many of the structural barriers, cultural dynamics, and strategies explored are highly relevant in Australia.

Topics covered:

  • Women candidates and their campaigns
  • Women, money and politics
  • Women in elective office
  • Women voters
  • Voter attitudes toward women in politics
  • Women and the Presidency
  • Women in state and local politics
  • Women and political parties
  • Asian American women in politics
  • Black women in politics
  • Latinas in politics

CAWP is a unit of the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University.
