Dr. Nichola Gutgold has been researching and writing about women and the United States presidency for more than 20 years. In her new book, “Electing Madam Vice President: When Women Run Women Win,” she focuses on the communication style and campaign rhetoric of the six women who ran for president in 2020-the largest group of women candidates in one election-- and the eventual election of Kamala Harris to the vice presidency, a history-making appointment.
Dr. Gutgold is a professor of communication arts and sciences at Penn State Lehigh Valley and a Fulbright Specialist. She is author or co-author of more than ten books and numerous research articles and has turned two of her research books into children’s books to encourage young people to reach their dreams. Her research has appeared in national and international publications, including the New York Times and NPR. She is a recipient of numerous teaching awards, including the University-wide Penn State Fellows Award.
