For more than two decades, Nichola D. Gutgold, professor of communication arts and sciences at Penn State Lehigh Valley, has continued her research on the progress of women in politics, as well as women in nontraditional fields. In her work, Gutgold analyzes the obstacles women candidates face and what it will take to overcome them. Now, readers can anticipate the May 2021 release of her latest work, “Electing Madam Vice President: When Women Run Women Win,” available first in hardcover and then in paperback.
Early in her academic career, Gutgold observed that often left off the history pages and out of the minds of many Americans are the women who have run for president. The 2020 Democratic primary brought the most women ever to run in one election, and “Electing Madam Vice President” demonstrates the progress women candidates have made as they have moved from symbolic candidates to viable candidates.
