Throughout United States history, men have dominated political institutions. Women have made consistent progress in political office at the state and federal levels and currently there are a record number of women serving in Congress, yet they are still underrepresented in the government. For my Seward Fellows Organizing Theme Minor in Gender and U.S. Politics, I am doing independent research on the experiences of women who have served in the House of Representatives and Senate across decades. The research project examines the influence of gender roles on a woman's congressional campaign and tenure in office, in the context of evolving gender dynamics in the U.S. My research compares and contrasts the experiences of congresswomen and analyzes the ways in which gender, race, ethnicity, party affiliation, socioeconomic status and other demographic factors influence their decision to run for office and legislative priorities. The presentation will identify women's motives to campaign and the challenges they encounter, as well as their legislative preferences and action while in office.

Abstract
This thesis explores the possibilities of agritourism in the pursuit of sustainable tourism in Spain. It criticizes the dominant model of sun-and-beach tourism and endorses agritourism as a sustainable alternative. Agritourism is a field of rural tourism that encourages tourist engagement in agricultural activities as a means of diversifying the economy and fostering cultural competency. Through an analysis of case studies of farm stays, enotourism, olive oil tourism, and cheese tourism throughout Spain, this paper examines the social and economic benefits that agritourism extends to the provider, the tourist, the host community, and the environment. It concludes by emphasizing that, in order to achieve sustainable development, people who participate in agritourism must respect the culture and nature of rural areas, as well as focus on long-term solutions.
