- Description
- Through an examination of the path to women’s political inclusion in the United States, France and the United Kingdom this book demonstrates that the formation of a broad movement across social divide and strategic alliances with political parties in competitive electoral conditions, provided the leverage that ultimately transformed women into voters. Politicians had incentives to seek out new sources of electoral influence. A broad-based suffrage movement could reinforce those incentives by providing information about women’s preferences, and an infrastructure with which to mobilize future female voters.
