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.
