Final answer:

True. More women in politics feel they need to possess and sometimes exaggerate masculine qualities in order to be successful.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that more women are politically active but must possess and often exaggerate masculine qualities in order to be successful is True.

Research has shown that gender plays a significant role in how political leaders are perceived. Even among women, the public prefers politicians with masculine qualities. Studies have found that the hypothetical 'Ideal' president, as perceived by both men and women, possesses more masculine qualities than feminine qualities.

Therefore, in order to be successful in politics, many women feel the need to possess and sometimes exaggerate masculine qualities.
