<div>There's a chapter in Deborah Cameron's excellent popular book<i>
The Myth of Mars and Venus</i> that cites research on this and similar
ideas attributing women's relative lack of power to women's own
limitations--bottom line seems to be that there is no evidence that it
is women's inadequacies that keep men in power. Sally</div>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>Dear all,<br>
<br>
I am a new Member of the list. I am currently writing my thesis about
whether the fear of public speaking is a reason why women are
under-represented in field of politics and other power-holding
positions. Does anyone know whether there is a literature that answers
this question?<br>
<br>
Thank you very much in advance,<br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>
<br>
