Description

Completely updated, this engaging and historically-informed text provides a comprehensive exploration of the efforts, achievements and the setbacks involved in the movements toward equality for American women.

The Fourth Edition provides the most thorough coverage of political history wedded to the most current data and present-day examples of any text. Exploring three basic themes—(1) political rights and realities, (2) employment and educational rights and realities, and (3) familial and reproductive rights and realities—Women, Politics, and American Society first traces the efforts of women to achieve rights in those areas and then tries to answer the question of why women still fall short of full equality. This lucid text offers excellent historical material, giving students the background necessary to truly understand women's ongoing struggles today.


Features

  • Provides rich historical material not found in other texts. Written with the belief that we have to know where we've been to understand where we're going, this text offers a strong historical backdrop to the struggle for equality of American women today.
  • Engaging boxed feature program highlights key events, personalities, and issues in the American women's political experience.
  • Discussions of feminist theory and practice in Introduction and Chapter 1 grounds the text and its assertions in strong social science research.


New To This Edition

  • New “Global Awareness” boxes examine issues related to women and politics in other countries giving students an understanding of the condition of women around the world.
  • New “Profiles in Leadership” boxes look at the careers of particular women who have made a difference in politics through their leadership abilities.
  • New “Women and Politics” boxes provide in-depth examinations of particular political issues or events that are of importance to women (e.g., 2002 as the “Year of the Woman Governor,” raising consciousness about sexual harassment, equal pay and benefits for mothers vs. single women in the workforce).
  • Updates to all the tables, charts, and graphs highlighting public opinion regarding women and politics with cross-national comparisons of womens' issues.
