Policy, Politics and Gender: Women Gaining Ground

Policy Politics & Gender: Women Gaining Ground by Kathleen Staudt (Professor of Political Science, University of Texas at El Paso) is an intelligently written, thoughtful, college-level study of the links between women's politics and public policies at both national and international levels. Individual chapters reflect matters of reproductive health and threat of overpopulation, the threat of gender-specific marginalization in a postwar world, the role of education and "women's work" in economic policy, and much, much more. Policy Politics & Gender is very highly recommended for Women's Studies and Political Science academic reference collections and supplemental reading lists.
