Know about the book -

Women Politicians and the Media is written by Maria Braden and published by University Press of Kentucky. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0813170699 (ISBN 10) and 9780813170695 (ISBN 13).

Throughout the decades, Braden traces a persistent double standard in media coverage of women's political campaigns. Her personal interviews with recent women politicians - including Margaret Chase Smith, Bella Abzug, Kay Bailey Hutchison, Nancy Kassebaum, and Ann Richards - reveal their agonizing struggles to get across to the public the message that they are competent candidates capable of holding high office and shaping our nation's course.
