内容説明・目次

内容説明

This textbook presents a much-needed exploration of the many ways that women in the United States have used their voices in the political process. Written in a concise and accessible style, Women and Politics equips students with the necessary skills and knowledge to understand the political involvement of women as individuals and their efforts to achieve political and economic equity as a group. This textbook is both historical, examining trends, and contemporary, focusing on participation and the public policy concerns of women in the early decades of the 21st century. Key content and features: * Exploration of diverse actions women have taken to achieve empowerment and gender equity * Surveys women as voters, as candidates for elected office, and as interest group organizers lobbying for equity in public policy and for global women's rights * Chronicles protest actions against unequal practices of economic and governmental elites * Highlights the actions of women with few economic resources that join together to challenge local power structures. Readers will appreciate Burrell's valuable insights on the multiple political voices of American women and the challenges of economic inequality in their quest for political equality.
