Whether they want equal pay, anti-domestic violence laws, refugee or childcare centres, they must engage with state institutions. What determines the nature and extent of this involvement? Why are some feminists more willing to engage with some institutions, while others are not? Gendering Government seeks to answer these questions through a comparison of feminist engagement with political institutions in Australia and Canada. Chappell considers what effect political institutions have had on shaping feminist claims, and in turn, to what extent these claims shape the nature of these institutions. She adds a new dimension to our understanding of the relationship between gender interests and government, showing how the interaction is dynamic and mutually defining. She further extends existing comparative studies in the field of women and politics by examining the full range of such institutions, including the electoral, parliamentary, legal/constitutional, and bureaucratic arenas. 606 $aFeminism$xPolitical aspects$zCanada 606 $aFeminism$xPolitical aspects$zAustralia 606 $aWomen$xPolitical activity$zCanada 606 $aWomen$xPolitical activity$zAustralia 606 $aComparative government 607 $aAustralia$xPolitics and government$y1945- 615 0$aFeminism$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aFeminism$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aWomen$xPolitical activity 615 0$aWomen$xPolitical activity 615 0$aComparative government. 676 $a320.9/0082/0971 700 $aChappell$b Louise A.$f1966-$01643122 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814542503321 996 $aGendering government$93988162 997 $aUNINA
