Product Description

Product Description

This reader integrates different approaches to the study of women and politics. The first approach focuses on women's role in traditional political activities - as voters, party activists and candidates for legislative office. This includes current issues, such as the development of the "gender gap" in attitudes and the constraints on women's participation. The second approach compares the impact of women's movements and campaigns to change public policy on issues such as sexual harassment, childcare and abortion. The third examines the omission and subordination of women in political thought, and issues of feminist theory and methodology. Throughout, this book reflects the diversity of women's involvement in political life, within and between developed countries.

persistently less in the US 8 July 2007
By W Boudville - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Several papers in the book address what might be termed a persistent problem in feminism. That women differ in their political values, often as a function of whether they consider themselves to be feminists. These differences are quantified in some studies summarised by the papers. The differences are also correlated with party identification in the US. Unsurprisingly, the Republican party has few feminists, compared to the Democrats.

Some chapters study the amount of representation by women in national parliaments. The US has a relatively sparse rate, compared to several European countries. Why this might be is speculated. There is little indication in the text that female participation in US politics will increase to European levels anytime soon.
