- Description
- This book is an exploration of how women are influencing policy and politics in this male bastion of power. Gender is a fundamental factor for women in the Senate, interacting with both party affiliation and individual ideology to shape priorities on policy. Women are more active proponents of social welfare and women’s rights. But the effects of gender extend beyond mere policy preferences. The election of women in increasing numbers has also coincided with the evolution of the Senate as a highly partisan institution. The stark differences between the parties on issues pertaining to gender have meant that Democratic and Republican senators often assume very different roles as they reconcile their policy views on gender issues with the desire to act as members of partisan teams championing or defending their party’s record in an effort to reach various groups of voters.

- Description
- Will gender balance in elected assemblies soon be reached? Around 100 years after women's suffrage was gained most countries are still at some distance from this goal. In 2013, the average representation of women in the world's parliaments was around 20 per cent. This book analyses the longitudinal development of women's political representation in eight old democracies, where women were enfranchised before and around World War I: Denmark, Iceland, Germany, The Netherlands, New Jersey (USA), New South Wales (Australia), Sweden, and the United Kingdom. These countries/states have all followed an incremental track model of change in women's position in political life, but have followed different trajectories. This slow development stands in contrast to recent examples of fast track development in many countries from the Global South, not least as a result of the adoption of gender quotas. Furthermore, the book discusses in four separate chapters the common historical development in old democracies, the different trajectories and sequences, the framing of women politicians, and the impact of party and party system change. In this book a new model of male dominance is developed and defined in terms of both degree and scope. Four stages are identified: male monopoly, small minority, large minority, and gender balance.

- Description
- The contributors to this volume examine the increasing influence of women on Congress and the ways in which gender defines and shapes Congress as a political institution. The volume follows women on the campaign trail, in committee rooms, in floor debate, and in policy deliberations where previously the focus was on men's interests and activities. The essays are complemented by a gallery of photographs showing notable women from their earliest years of involvement with Congress to the present.
