Reviews for Women in the Club
"With Women in the Club, Michele L. Swers offers the first book-length analysis of the role of gender in the US Senate. Gender differences, she shows, are deeply and pervasively shaped by party politics, with gender affecting senators' activism across a range of policy issues, including women's rights, social welfare, and defense." (Frances E. Lee, University of Maryland)"
