Description

This chapter appears in the book, Politicking While Female: The Political Lives of Women. Edited by Nichole M. Bauer and Robert Mann.

Chapter abstract: Cooperman examines how women running for U.S. Congress build, access, and mobilize campaign finance networks, and how those networks differ from those of male candidates. The chapter is situated within the broader scholarly question of whether fundraising disadvantages for women stem from fewer resources, different donor relationships, or structural features of party and interest‑group networks.
