When Women Lead: Integrative Leadership in State Legislatures by Cindy Simon Ros

Description: When Women Lead by Cindy Simon Rosenthal A study of the different leadership styles of men and women in American politics. It provides close studies of key state legislatures and offers an insight into the workings of the largest cohorts of women in institutional leadership roles. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Until recently, the study of legislative leadership has been the study of men. Scholars have taught students that legislative leadership is transactional, a kind of competitive bargaining procedure to broker particular interests. When Women Lead: Integrative Leadership in State Legislatures brings to light the important contributions that women as legislative leaders make to the institutions in which they operate. Cindy Simon Rosenthal shows us how (andwhere) women are "integrating" the ranks of the legislative hierarchy, a forum in which they have been all but absent. She also argues that women are "doing leadership" in an innovative, inclusive style thatsubtly redefines both the appearance and meaning of political leadership.Contradicting the assumption that legislative leadership is inherently transactional, Rosenthal posits an integrative style emphasizing collaboration, shared problem-solving, and consensus. Further, she argues that women committee chairs come to their roles from different life experiences, and so employ motivations, tactics, and visions of leadership that differ in important ways from their malecounterparts. Her findings suggest that women tend to see political leadership as something more than the act of satisfying particular interests.This study of women who chair statelegislative committees examines one of Americas largest cohorts of women in institutional leadership roles, thus making an important contribution to our understanding of gender, organizational leadership, and state legislatures. Rosenthal ably demonstrates that legislatures are not gender-neutral and that legislative leadership must be understood within a gendered context. Numbers and power therefore constitute critical variables throughout this study. While stereotyping has not disappeared insome states, women across the country--as illustrated in When Women Lead--are effectively redefining the framework and the assumptions central to political leadership in other locales. Author Biography Cindy Simon Rosenthal, Assistant Professor of Political Science and Assistant Director of the Carl Albert Congressional Research and Studies Center, University of Oklahoma Review "When Women Lead, a study in integration leadership, is solidly grounded in theory, nicely shaped by empirical method, and admirably informed by practical insight. It makes a unique contribution to the study of women and politics specifically and to legislatures more generally. It is certainly required reading for anyone in either of these fields, and it ought to be read by an even wider audience."--Alan Rosenthal, Rutgers University Promotional Shows how (and where) women are "integrating" the ranks of the legislative hierarchy Long Description Until recently, the study of legislative leadership has been the study of men.
