Autor Sue Thomasen Limba Engleză Paperback – mar 1994
lawmaking process, analyzing the differences between women's and men's backgrounds before entering public office, and differences in their agendas, priorities, working styles, and leadership once they are in office. Arguing that there is a significant difference in legislative outcomes when the
number of women in a given legislature reaches a certain threshold, the author provides one of the first analyses of the overall effects of women on the laws that are passed and on the way legislative business is done.

Descriere
The number of women in public office increased dramatically in recent elections, especially in state legislatures where one-fifth of the seats are now held by women. How Women Legislate offers a uniquely comprehensive and timely study of the effects women have had on legislation and the lawmaking process, analyzing the differences between women's and men's backgrounds before entering public office, and differences in their agendas, priorities, workingstyles, and leadership once they are in office. Arguing that there is a significant difference in legislative outcomes when the number of women in a given legislature reaches a certain threshold, the author provides one of the first analyses of the overall effects of women on the laws that are passed and on the waylegislative business is done.
Recenzii
[A] major contribution....This text is one of the most comprehensive attempts to date to evaluate the impact of women not only on policy outputs but also on the legislative process itself. Political scientists who are interested in the legislatures, American politics in general, and women in politics, as well as scholars in the field of women's studies, will want this study for their personal libraries. Furthermore, the book can be used as a supplementary text in all courses whichinclude a focus on women's roles, attitudes, and power.
Delightful to use in class. Highly organized. Makes getting the ideas across to students very easy.
A useful book on a subject that needs more attention. I have adopted this as a supplemental text.
Informative book on a topic of current interest.
Delighted to have a well written, up-to-date text to use in my women and politics class.
Superbly accomplishes a number of significant ends: it brings our research on women in legislatures up to date, and does so from a broad comparative perspective. But even more important it brings a rich theoretical sensitivity to the question of women in elective office. Its conclusions are thoughtfully reasoned, offering us a fine framework for further explorations.
A first-rate book by an up-and-coming young political scientist, likely to be the standard for some time....Interesting and important.
Goes a long way toward helping us understand how public policy and the legislative process are changing as more women enter public office. Thomas offers compelling evidence that women state legislators are making their presence felt in the political arena.
Represents a new generation of women and politics research. It examines what women legislators do and what impact they have. This work will be widely read and widely cited.
The book we've all been waiting for
Very insightful and useful....One of the most comprehensive attempts to evaluate the impact of women not only on policy outputs but also on the legislative process itself.
Sue Thomas has written a book that all institutions will want for their libraries and many political scientists will want to acquire for their course work and personal collections. Thoroughly researched and deftly presented, How Women Legislate provides incontrovertible evidence that women in politics do make a difference.
The latest and most complete study of the impact of the growing number of women state representatives on the procedures and policies of state governments. The research design is carefully crafted and methodologically sound. Both the methodological approach and the findings are important contributions to the study of legislative behavior.
Sue Thomas...has produced a fine account of the behavior of women in the state legislatures from the 1970s until the 1990s...she provides ample evidence to prove that legislatures are different and better places because of the rising population of women lawmakers in the past generation.
Just in her review of the last twenty years of research, Sue Thomas of Georgetown University has performed a valuable service for those of us who are interested in the questions of women's effects on the legislative process with the publication...Thomas has produced a very solid piece of empirical research which helps to shed some light on what difference women can and cannot make politically.
