Catherine Reyes-Housholder introduces a theory of gendered incentives and perceived potential to reveal why a political party would break with tradition and nominate a woman. She also shows how citizens respond when women candidates are running in incumbent parties or competing to displace those in power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on comparative research on the presidency and gender, \u003ci\u003eHow Women Win Presidential Elections in Latin America\u003c\/i\u003e examines the successful campaigns of Michelle Bachelet in Chile and Dilma Rousseff in Brazil, as well as why Blanca Ovelar lost her presidential race in Paraguay. Reyes-Housholder's findings indicate that voter sexism is not a major factor; however, women do not triumph in these elections in the same ways that men do. Rather, the central unknown factor behind women's victories is how they become candidates of major parties--and gender profoundly influences who parties nominate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHow Women Win Presidential Elections in Latin America\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable investigation of women and executive politics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Temple University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47966582243479,"sku":"9781439927106","price":3239.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781439927106.webp?v=1782911371","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/how-women-win-presidential-elections-in-latin-america-9781439927106","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
