Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book synthesizes the successes and failures of two decades in the struggle to improve the lives of American women through the political process. Many of the contributors have worked in federal government, and they consider such areas as education, employment, law and business -- testifying to the wider social and political role that so-called 'women's issues' have played in shaping American society since the early 1960s. This book is destined to shape the agenda of the women's movement for the next generation. '...the text is a wonderful resource for students of political science, organizational change, and women's studies.' -- Choice, May 1984 'Written in a lucid and jargon-free style, the book provide

Download or read book The Politics of the Gender Gap written by Carol M. Mueller and published by . This book was released on with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The political mobilization of women and identification of 'women's special interests' has made gender an important factor in electoral behaviour. Using election studies, media analysis, economics, history, sociology and policy studies, The Politics of the Gender Gap presents state-of-the-art empirical research on the emergence of women as a voting block. The book reveals that although the gender gap is a social and political creation that is still ill-defined, its potential to influence politics is significant. The contributors explain the origins of the gender gap; its use by women's organizations, the media and political parties; and its implications for the election of women.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political Women examines women's roles in American state and local politics. Three major trends in these areas are discussed, which suggest that a 'quiet revolution' is taking place in politics at state and local levels. The authors develop four provocative themes relating to the role of women in politics, their status in relation to political parties, the differences in men's and women's politics, and the significance of the female electorate. Political Women constitutes an important addition to the series, and will be of interest to those studying the place of women in modern society, political scientists, and students of American government and politics.

The part introductions highlight the key areas of research Marilyn Gittell championed and provide insightful context for the articles that follow. In addition to exploring Marilyn Gittell’s groundbreaking research, this book serves as a bridge to current and future community-based urban research that advances citizen participation and empowerment. Marilyn Gittell was a renowned scholar and social activist. A graduate of Brooklyn College (BA) and New York University (PhD), she held her first faculty appointment at Queens College (1960–1973) before serving as Associate Provost (1973–1978) at Brooklyn College. She then joined the faculty of the City University of New York’s Graduate Center (1978–2010) as Professor of Political Science. She helped launch and was the founding editor of Urban Affairs Quarterly, the leading academic journal in the field of urban research. Activist Scholar highlights Professor Gittell’s writings on community organizations, citizen participation, urban politics, the politics of education, and gender. She specialized in applied and comparative research on local, regional, national, and international policies and politics, and placed a high priority on training researchers and scholars. Marilyn Gittell was a mentor to hundreds of students in the City University of New York system, and her legacy of activism continues as her students, now on the faculties of universities across the nation, engage in important work globally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three current issues in social science research are examined in Women, Biology and Public Policy -- the problems affecting women in their everyday lives, the relationship between the physical and socio-political lives of people, and the role of normative theory in policy science. Going beyond beyond theories of traditional sociobiology, this multi-disciplinary volume focuses on the reciprocal relationship between biology and the formulation, implementation, and impact of public policies.

Book excerpt: Over drinks with her favorite professor and her future husband, a 25-year-old Sara Miller founded one of the most influential academic publishing houses on the planet. This career-spanning autobiography follows Sara Miller McCune and the company that emerged from that cocktail hour, SAGE Publishing. Read along as over 55 years SAGE grows from publishing a single journal promoted by direct mail (from a list provided by Daniel Patrick Moynihan) into a globe-spanning and proudly independent company with a core belief that engaged scholarship lies at the heart of any healthy society. While the book is an excellent source for those interested in publishing, education (especially the rise of social science in the post-war academy), and entrepreneurship, perhaps its most powerful impact is as an inspiring tale for young women anxious to start their own business and chart an independent course in life.

Download or read book Women in Midlife written by Grace Baruch and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Study of Women In Midlife GRACE K. BARUCH AND JEANNE BROOKS-GUNN To describe the middle years-that relatively long span when one is neither young nor old-as a neglected period may no longer be accurate, given current scientific and popular interest in adult development and aging. But midlife is still too often seen merely as a kind of staging area on the way to old age, when one gathers one's forces and tries to stock up on assets-health, money, relationships-that will be needed for the rigors of the last phase of life. The middle years have been characterized more as a transition period than as a time of growth, satisfaction, and creativity. As this volume will show, although midlife is not without its difficulties, it is, for many women, a time of unexpected pleasure, even power. MAJOR THEMES A central theme of this volume is the impact of social change. The influence of economic conditions, of ideology, of the normative timing of such life events as age of marriage and childbearing, are addressed in many chapters from hlany different perspectives. Social changes are shown to have both negative and positive consequences. On the nega tive side, for example, the sex differential in life expectancy is a biosocial phenomenon that greatly restricts the availability of sexual partners-or, more precisely, heterosexual partners-for older women.

Download or read book Women: The Misunderstood Majority written by M. Gay Hubbard and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2003-05-12 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fact: Women are the major consumers of counseling services today. Fact: The average counselor (male or female, secular or pastoral) has little or no specific training in the psychology of women or in understanding women's issues. Result: A widespread therapy gap that reduces respect, hinders healing, and breeds frustration. M. Gay Hubbard writes to close that disturbing gap by exposing common misbeliefs and faulty assumptions about women that can block understanding and perpetuate pain. Her aim in this provocative yet balanced book is to: - Increase women's self-understanding and make them smarter consumers of counseling services. - Challenge the myths of womanhood--old and new--that pervade our culture and can skew the thinking of counselor and client alike. - Expose faulty assumptions about women and therapy that may sabotage a counselor's best efforts--and even increase the risk of sexual abuse. - Examine the politics of gender research--and show why data about sex differences is often manipulated and misinterpreted to further particular agendas. - Encourage women and their counselors to look at the business of healing with fresh hope, deeper understanding, and an abiding sense of compassion. Impeccably researched, highly readable, challenging but never strident, 'Women: The Misunderstood Majority' is designed to open eyes and heal hearts, and to open the way for more women to lead productive and fulfilling lives.

Download or read book Gender and the Vote in Britain written by Rosie Campbell and published by ECPR Press. This book was released on 2006-12-01 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2005 British general election witnessed unprecedented media interest in the parties' attempts to 'woo' women voters. There was much speculation about a fracturing relationship between women and Tony Blair, the term 'let-down woman' was used by the press to describe how the relationship had allegedly gone sour. Gender and the Vote in Britain provides comprehensive analysis of the 1992-2005 British general elections and tests whether there were, in fact, sex differences in leadership evaluations, party of vote and political attitudes. The interactions between sex, age, class, race, and education are examined and gender effects are understood as tectonic plates that will shift and change according to the specific context of a given election. Thus, the argument of the book is that background or sociodemographic characteristics play an important role in electoral choice but that their impact is mitigated by other factors, such as issue salience. For example gender may impact upon political attitudes, so that more women than men prioritise spending on health or education, but this will only translate into voting behaviour if the political parties diverge on these issues.
