Change has been greatest in the realm of everyday life, but feminism has also challenged the substance and practice of politics. Feminists and Party Politics examines the effort to bring feminism into the formal political arena through established political parties in Canada and the United States. Two major sets of questions lie at the heart of this inquiry. First, how have movement organizations approached partisan and electoral politics? To what extent have they tried to change parties? What factors have shaped their approaches? Second, how have parties themselves responded to the mobilization of feminism? Have they taken steps to include women in elite cadres? Have they either adopted any of the policy stances advocated by feminist organizations or instead come to define themselves in opposition to feminism? Lisa Young explores these questions through meticulous research based on numerous interviews with feminist and partisan activists, archival and documentary material, and analysis of attitudinal surveys of political elites. She concludes that although the effort of North American feminists to transform political parties over the past thirty years cannot be judged entirely a success, it has not been a failure. By bringing women into the political arena on something beginning to approach an equal footing, feminists have begun to realize liberal democracy's promise of equal citizenship for women. 606 $aWomen$xPolitical activity$zCanada 606 $aWomen$xPolitical activity$zUnited States 606 $aPolitical parties$zCanada 606 $aPolitical parties$zUnited States 606 $aFeminism$zCanada 606 $aFeminism$zUnited States 615 0$aWomen$xPolitical activity 615 0$aWomen$xPolitical activity 615 0$aPolitical parties 615 0$aPolitical parties 615 0$aFeminism 615 0$aFeminism 676 $a324.2/082/0971 700 $aYoung$b Lisa$01638186 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822477203321 996 $aFeminists and party politics$94038498 997 $aUNINA
