In an op-ed forThe Washington Post, Dr. Linda Hirshman outlines “the electability trap” that women presidential candidates face in 2020. She calls on readers to reject myths about women’s inability to win the presidential race: “Rather than making female candidates bear the burden of our worries, we should direct our energies elsewhere. …Ultimately, it’s up to individual voters to choose the best candidate, regardless of gender — and not let myths about electability shackle us.”
