	Catherine Allgor - Frances Perkins Scholar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Allgor first took a look at “parlor politics” for her MHC senior thesis on Louisa Catherine Johnson Adams, wife and political partner of President John Quincy Adams.
		For instance, a woman might say she got her brother a job with the president because he has two babies to support, or that she helped get her husband elected because that’s what a good wife does.
		(Allgor believes, for example, that Louisa Catherine Adams is the reason John Quincy won the presidency.) “It’s not that they succeeded despite being women; they succeeded because they were women and women had a certain kind of role.” That didn’t last long.
