Abstract
Description
The media herald the 2012 elections as the "Year of the Woman" because woman candidates and voters are expected to decide the make-up of Congress and who wins the White House. Here's what is true: women voters may be the swing vote that decides congressional and presidential elections. Here's what is missing: the number of women in elected office and running for election is likely to remain small and out of whack with the proportion of men. Why? Does it matter?
