Campaign Fundraising: How Do Women Find the Money Necessary to Run and Win?

One of the greatest issues for women running for office, and for those women deciding whether or not to run for office, is money. Women generally feel as if they have fewer financial resources and networks upon which to draw for financial campaign support.
