All Roads Lead to Power: The Appointed and Elected Paths to Public Office for US Women*
Channel: US National Archives
Date: 04/06/2019

In her book, All Roads Lead to Power, professor Kaitlin Sidorsky analyzes how many more women are appointed, rather than elected, to political office. These women make a conscious decision to enter politics through a less partisan and negative entry point, and that the work connects with their personal lives or career. They are not always victims of a biased political sphere or lacking in ambition or self-confidence. A book signing follows the program.
