MAGA Women Are Learning The Hard Way What The 'Glass Cliff' Phenomenon Is Experts break down what women in Trump's orbit should learn from his latest dismissals.

Our @cambup-polsci.cambridge.org author shared insights from her book: “The truth is, they’d always been standing in political quicksand. As @zeynsom.bsky.social describes in her book “Glass Ceilings, Glass Cliffs, and Quicksands,” female leaders often operate in more precarious environments.”

My mom died on March 19, 2024. I’m slowly making my way through her old things & yesterday found a slew of old conference badges from when she worked in academic publishing in the 80s. She had early onset dementia, so we didn’t talk much about my work. How I wish we could have exchanged stories!
