As women continue to gain more prominence in political and electoral processes as voters, candidates, and officeholders, it becomes even more important to understand how gender shapes political power and the distribution of resources within our society. Women, Power, and Politics: The Fight for Gender Equality in the United States offers a timely and engaging analysis of classic and contemporary gender-related issues, focusing on the role of women as active participants in government and the public policies that affect women in their daily lives.
Women, Power, and Politics is the first book that covers all of the topics I need for my course. Featuring completely up-to-date scholarship, the book is also well written and attractive to student readers. The timeliness and comprehensiveness of the subject matter sets the book apart." * Katheryn DePalo, Florida International University *
Women, Power, and Politics is comprehensive in terms of topics and suitable as a single text for a course in terms of the organization." * Meredith Conroy, California State University, San Bernardino *
This text's scholarly rigor, its comprehensive coverage of current literature, and its incorporation of contemporary examples, makes it the best women and politics book out there. This book takes a broad approach, so students can see the forest * - and not just the trees." Shane Gleason, Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi *
