Madam President: Progress, Problems, and Prospects for 2008
Women have made great progress in electoral politics both in the United States and around the world, and at all levels of public office. However, although a number of women have led their countries in the modern era and a growing number of women are winning gubernatorial, senatorial, and congressional races, the United States has yet to elect a female president, nor has anyone come close. This paper considers the prospects for electing a woman president in 2008 and the challenges facing Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza Rice—potential frontrunners from both major parties&nmash;given the historical experiences of women who pursued the nation's highest office.

Historically, the first lady has largely been omitted form consideration by presidential scholars. As such, the lion's share of textbook on the presidency, biographies of presidents, and scholarly conferences in political science and bistory failed to seriously consider the potential influence first ladies had on their husbands and White House decision making. Yet, a subfield of study is rapidly developing, and a compelling case exists for the systematic study of the presidential spouses. So too do many questions remain in regards to the direction and nature of the "field" of study. This article examines the current state of first lady scholarship and the challenges facing those doing research on the first ladies and offers proposals to guide further study.
