The Political Dynamics of Motherhood
Assistant Professor of Politics Jill Greenlee's book project, “The Political Dynamics of Motherhood,” examines the historical use of motherhood by presidential candidates in crafting political appeals to women, and uses contemporary data to understand why these appeals have enjoyed such longevity.
Using public opinion data, experimental data, and qualitative data from interviews conducted with mothers, she is exploring how, when, and why motherhood shapes women's political attitudes.
