Catherine Reyes-Housholder introduces a theory of gendered incentives and perceived potential to reveal why a political party would break with tradition and nominate a woman. She also shows how citizens respond when women candidates are running in incumbent parties or competing to displace those in power.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on comparative research on the presidency and gender, \u003ci\u003eHow Women Win Presidential Elections in Latin America\u003c\/i\u003e examines the successful campaigns of Michelle Bachelet in Chile and Dilma Rousseff in Brazil, as well as why Blanca Ovelar lost her presidential race in Paraguay. Reyes-Housholder's findings indicate that voter sexism is not a major factor; however, women do not triumph in these elections in the same ways that men do. Rather, the central unknown factor behind women's victories is how they become candidates of major parties-and gender profoundly influences who parties nominate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHow Women Win Presidential Elections in Latin America\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable investigation of women and executive politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatherine Reyes-Housholder\u003c\/b\u003e is an Associate Professor at the Political Science Institute of the Pontifical Catholic University in Chile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 17, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53801702916403,"sku":"9781439927090","price":179.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/WLiB7PLmJ_9781439927090.webp?v=1785975580","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/how-women-win-presidential-elections-in-latin-america-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
