This book explores the campaign history of California's women legislators and the increasingly complex strategies they used in efforts to transcend gender barriers when running for office from 1912 to 1970. Nearly 500 women ran on the primary ballots, re-gendering the political landscape while struggling against a recurring historical amnesia.
This book analyzes newspaper coverage of four pioneering women politicians between the 1870s and 2000s to understand how media discourse of women politicians has and hasn't changed over 150 years. In addition, the book provides historical context of the political, feminist, and journalistic cultures that influenced how reporters covered these women.
