Kelly L. Winfrey successfully complicates singular narratives about women voters while providing evidence that gender identity and group consciousness have influential effects on women's political beliefs and behaviors across party and ideological lines. Her findings should compel both scholars and practitioners to re-evaluate assumptions about how gender informs women's political evaluations and engagement. * Kelly Dittmar, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Rutgers-Camden and Scholar at the Center for American Women and Politics at the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers-New Brunswick, USA * Understanding How Women Vote provides a wealth of information regarding gender differences in electoral behavior and examines the variations that exist among women who have different levels of group identification and hold different gender-role beliefs. The wide-ranging and comprehensive scope of Kelly L. Winfrey’s analysis and the illuminating differences she finds between more traditional and more feminist women make this book indispensable reading for anyone who wants to understand the role of women voters in contemporary American politics. * Susan J. Carroll, Professor of Political Science and Senior Scholar, Center for American Women and Politics, Rutgers University, USA *
