Women and politics : an international perspective  Cover Image Book Book

Women and politics : an international perspective / Vicky Randall. --

Randall, Vicky. (Author).

Summary:

"Drawing upon a wide range of historical studies, Randall examines the increasingly broad data available on women's political participation and the chief factors that obstruct or encourage it. ... Finally, Randall provides an up-to-date analysis of contemporary feminism as a political movement, its impact on policy in the 1970s, and the changing prospects for both in the 1980s. Randall's comparative approach draws upon material not only from the United States and Britain but also from a wide range of other capitalist, state-socialist, and Third World countries." --back cover
