This election season, the possibility of the U.S. electing its first-ever female president is top of mind for voters. Angela Bos, dean and professor in the School of Public Service, published an article for The Conversation exploring voters' current attitudes to women politicians and how they differ from a decade ago.

The article discusses how gender stereotypes and a lack of female representation in politics have long presented barriers to potential women presidencies in the U.S. However, in recent years these stereotypes have shifted to become more positive and more women have stepped into political leadership roles. The article concludes by describing how these shifts in voter attitudes may benefit Vice President Kamala Harris in her campaign for president.
