500    Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 06 
       May 2016). 
520    Claims of bias against female candidates abound in 
       American politics. From superficial media coverage to 
       gender stereotypes held by voters, the conventional wisdom
       is that women routinely encounter a formidable series of 
       obstacles that complicate their path to elective office. 
       Women on the Run challenges that prevailing view and 
       argues that the declining novelty of women in politics, 
       coupled with the polarization of the Republican and 
       Democratic parties, has left little space for the sex of a
       candidate to influence modern campaigns. The book includes
       in-depth analyses of the 2010 and 2014 congressional 
       elections, which reveal that male and female House 
       candidates communicate similar messages on the campaign 
       trail, receive similar coverage in the local press, and 
       garner similar evaluations from voters in their districts.
       When they run for office, male and female candidates not 
       only perform equally well on Election Day - they also face
       a very similar electoral landscape.
