Newswise — INDIANAPOLIS -- If a woman is to become president, voters "can no longer uncritically accept stereotypes about powerful women, laugh at misogynistic jokes, put up with hackneyed journalistic coverage of political women or fail to call out sexism whenever and wherever we see it," Kristina Horn Sheeler said.

Kristina Horn Sheeler is chair and associate professor of the Department of Communication Studies in the Indiana University School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI.

Her publications include "Woman President: Confronting Postfeminist Political Culture," co-authored with Karrin Vasby Anderson and published in 2013 by Texas A & M University Press. In "Woman President," Sheeler and Anderson uncover a political and popular culture backlash against women that they argue has kept the White House a man's place.
