Abstract
Are the stereotypes associated with women (warmth), female politicians (competence), or both used to form impressions of female politicians? Stereotypes about female politicians predicted the attributes associated with Hillary Clinton whereas stereotypes about female politicians and women predicted the attributes associated with a novel female politician. Implications are discussed.
