The authors have developed a comprehensive research design to examine whether or not women's policy agencies( institutional machineries intended to improve the status of women) have functioned as necessary and effective allies of women's movements in their efforts to gain access to power arenas and secure abortion laws thatcoincide with feminist goals. The findings constitute a rigorous application of comparative methodology to assess explanations from social movement and democratic theory pertaining to variations in state feminism and movement success.Gender and Politics Ser.AbortionPolitical aspectsAbortionGovernment policyAbortionLaw and legislationFeminismGovernment policyFeminist theoryWomen and democracyWomenPolitical activityAvortamentthubPolítica governamentalthubFeminismethubLlibres electrònicsthubAbortionPolitical aspects.AbortionGovernment policy.AbortionLaw and legislation.FeminismGovernment policy.Feminist theory.Women and democracy.WomenPolitical activity.AvortamentPolítica governamentalFeminisme.363.46Stetson1799141McBride Dorothy E1799142MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910958081603321Abortion politics, women's movements, and the democratic state4342313UNINA
