Unlike other studies that only analyze intergroup variances, this book examines intragroup differences among Maryland's African American women legislators. It develops representational identity theory to examine when and why Black women state legislators will behave similarly or have divergent policy preferences and uses intragroup analysis to compare and contrast the political behavior and policy preferences of Black women elected to the Maryland state legislature. 517 $aSisters in the statehouse 606 $aWomen$xPolitical activity$zUnited States 606 $aAfrican American women politicians$zUnited States 606 $aWomen legislators$zUnited States 606 $aWomen politicians 606 $aGender & Ethnic Studies$2HILCC 606 $aSocial Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aGender Studies & Sexuality$2HILCC 615 0$aWomen$xPolitical activity 615 0$aAfrican American women politicians 615 0$aWomen legislators 615 0$aWomen politicians 615 7$aGender & Ethnic Studies 615 7$aSocial Sciences 615 7$aGender Studies & Sexuality 676 $a328.73/0922 686 $aPOL017000$aPOL004000$aPOL016000$2bisacsh 700 $aBrown$b Nadia E$01241397 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154338003321 996 $aSisters in the statehouse : Black women and legislative decision making$92879784 997 $aUNINA
