This book presents a study of this puzzle of unequal participation. 330 $bWhy, after several generations of suffrage and a revival of the women's movement in the late 1960's, do women continue to be less politically active than men? Why are they less likely to seek public office or join political organizations? The Private Roots of Public Action is the most comprehensive study of this puzzle of unequal participation. The authors develop new methods to trace gender differences in political activity to the nonpolitical institutions of everyday life--the family, school, workplace, nonpolitical voluntary association, and church. Different experiences with these institutions produce differences in the resources, skills, and political orientations that facilitate participation--with a cumulative advantage for men. In addition, part of the solution to the puzzle of unequal participation lies in politics itself: where women hold visible public office, women citizens are more politically interested and active. The model that explains gender differences in participation is sufficiently general to apply to participatory disparities among other groups--among the young, the middle-aged, and the elderly or among Latinos, African-Americans and Anglo-Whites. 606 $aPolitical participation$zUnited States 606 $aWomen$xPolitical activity$zUnited States 606 $aSex role$zUnited States 606 $aSocial institutions$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPolitical participation 615 0$aWomen$xPolitical activity 615 0$aSex role 615 0$aSocial institutions 676 $a323/.042/0973 700 $aBurns$b Nancy$f1964-$01045645 701 $aSchlozman$b Kay Lehman$f1946-$01044040 701 $aVerba$b Sidney$0119953 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455356403321 996 $aThe private roots of public action$92472090 997 $aUNINA
