See Jane Win

After November 8, 2016, first came the sadness; then came the rage, activism, and protests; and now, for some eleven thousand women, it's time to get involved. More women are campaigning for local or national office over the past two years than at any time in American history. Journalist Caitlin Moscatello first reported on this wave of women candidates for New York Magazine's feminist vertical The Cut, and in See Jane Win she further documents this pivotal time in women's history. Closely following a handful of candidates throughout the entire process, from the women's decision to run through Election Day 2018, See Jane Win takes readers inside four exciting, winning campaigns: -Abigail Spanberger, the former CIA agent running to unseat Tea Party Representative Dave Brat in Virginia. -Catalina Cruz, a Colombian immigrant who hopes to be the first Dreamer elected to the New York State Assembly. -Anna Eskamani, an Iranian-American woman running for state office in Florida, with a campaign motivated by her mother's healthcare struggles and the Parkland shootings. -London Lamar, an African-American woman who hopes to be the youngest woman elected to the Tennessee State House.
