Gender and Governance

Despite the classic bumper sticker: "A woman's place is in the House...and the Senate," there is still no coherent feminist political agenda, argues Brush (sociology and women's studies, U. of Pittsburgh). In integrating political sociology, state theory, and welfare state studies with insights from feminist scholarship on gender boundaries and power, she examines the governance of gender and the gender of governance in capitalist democracies.
