Synopsis:

Women and Politics: A Quest for Political Equality in an Age of Economic Inequality describes the many ways in which women in the United States have used their voices in the political process. The book is about the involvement of women as individuals and about their group efforts to achieve political and economic equity. It is both historical, examining trends, and contemporary, focusing on participation and the public policy concerns of women in the early decades of the 21st century. The book uniquely places the quest for political equality in an era in which increasing economic inequality is challenging political equality.The book explores the diverse actions women have taken to achieve empowerment and gender equity. It surveys women as voters, as candidates for elected office and as interest group organizers lobbying for equity in public policy and for global women's rights. It chronicles protest actions against unequal practices of economic and governmental elites and highlights the actions of women with few economic resources that join together to challenge local power structures. It stimulates readers' appreciation of the multiple political voices of American women and the challenges of economic inequality in their quest for political equality.
