Representing Women

Meer over het boek

The book examines the assumption that female legislators inherently advocate better for women's interests than their male counterparts. By analyzing the behaviors and perspectives of both male and female members of the Arizona and California state legislatures, Beth Reingold reveals the complexities of representation and questions the validity of gender as a predictor of political choices. This exploration challenges prevailing beliefs about gender roles in politics and highlights the nuanced dynamics of legislative representation.
