Abstract

ABSTRACTRelatively few women have served as state attorney general; even fewer have been elected. Those women who won election to this important office did so in spite of its masculine stereotypical image. Here, women's participation and success in attorney general elections is examined in terms of state political culture, specifically as it relates to political women. Connections are apparent between a state's female sociopolitical subculture and attorney general elections, in terms of female candidate emergence, primary candidates’ ultimate electoral success, and a state's history of electing women to this stereotypically male office.
