How have American women voted in the first 100 years since the
ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment? How have popular
understandings of women as voters both persisted and changed over
time? In A Century of Votes for Women, Christina Wolbrecht and J.
Kevin Corder offer an unprecedented account of women voters in
American politics over the last ten decades. Bringing together new and
existing data, the book provides unique insight into women's (and
men's) voting behavior, and traces how women's turnout and vote choice
evolved across a century of enormous transformation overall and for
women in particular. Wolbrecht and Corder show that there is no such
thing as 'the woman voter'; instead they reveal considerable variation
in how different groups of women voted in response to changing
political, social, and economic realities. The book also demonstrates
how assumptions about women as voters influenced politicians, the
press, and scholars.
