Title: The Presidency and Women
Description: "The Presidency and Women offers a sophisticated understanding of the nation's largest interest group and fresh insight into the nation's most visible office. Martin studies in detail the presidencies of Kennedy through Carter. She demonstrates both the substantive growth in women's involvements in policy making and the political showcasing of women appointees, which has led to an ongoing illusion of even greater change. Her analysis provides perspective on the day-to-day interactions between the White House and outside groups, the outside political pressures for certain policy agendas, and the internal White House dynamics in response to those pressures."--Jacket.
