Ferree, Myra M., "A Woman for President? Changing Response: 1958-1972," Public Opinion Quarterly, 38 (Fall, 1974), 390-399.

Abstract:

Favorable change in attitudes toward women has come both from men and women, gradually for men but abruptly for women. The change came from the younger and better-educated women. In both sexes, the change came largely from those who were already tolerant of minorities. Between voting for a woman or voting for a black for president in 1958, voting for a black was the harder decision; in 1967, it depended on sex, age and education; in 1972, voting for a woman was the more difficult decision.
