- Synopsis
- In this work for students and scholars in women's studies and gender politics, Hawkesworth (political science, women's and gender studies, Rutgers University) explores women's work in official institutions of state and in social movements. By taking a global approach to the study of women and politics, the book addresses dimensions of politics seldom considered in mainstream accounts, while also challenging popular views about politics that are derived from men's political experiences. In a break from traditional methods in political science, the author draws on feminist scholarship, comparative politics, and international relations. Early chapters define the politics of exclusion and look at how modern states sustain hierarchies among citizens. The rest of the book traces the ways in which women have mobilized to transform structures of oppression. The book is illustrated with contemporary political posters and b&w photos.
