Yet there were few individuals of her day who were more consistently dedicated in both deeds and words to the proposition that the new nation should be founded on republican principles. She deserves a preeminent position among the active participants in the American Revolution. She was a significant force in the debates leading to the ratification of the Constitution and to the eventual adoption of the Bill of Rights. She was the only contemporary woman to write a comprehensive history of the American Revolution, and she was the only historian of the time to write from a republican viewpoint. She successfully balanced traditional femininity with principled political and intellectual activism. Her contemporary influence makes her truly a participating founder of the nation.","PeriodicalId":83535,"journal":{"name":"Women & politics","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1300/J014V10N02_03","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66676404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Elman","doi":"10.1300/J014V16N03_01","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1300/J014V16N03_01","url":null,"abstract":"This article provides an historical overview of the politicization of sexual harassment and legislative remedy in the United States and Sweden. While the American state formally recognizes the existence of sexual harassment and has taken steps against it, the Swedish state has been reluctant to provide legal remedy. This difference can be attributed to Sweden's centralized state and the strength of labor, which had the organizational capacity to effectively dismiss issues pertaining to women's sexual inequality. By contrast, American women benefitted from an autonomous feminist movement and a decentralized state that proved more permeable to feminist demands. Sweden's lack of legislative recognition of sexual harassment provides one of the most compelling challenges to the conventional characterization of the Swedish state as interventionist, innovative and egalitarian. While Sweden prides itself on the adoption of its most recently revised Equal Opportunities Act (1994), intended to promote equal rights ...","PeriodicalId":83535,"journal":{"name":"Women & politics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1300/J014V16N03_01","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66679507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using Arend Lijphart's concept of the \"comparative method,\" the essay applies this concept to the cross-cultural study of women and politics as a means of avoiding a number of conceptual problems inherent in the subject matter. The essay focuses on political participation, broadly defined, and uses this focus as a means of illustrating through substantive examples the problems of studying women and politics. A critique of the predominantly American literature is offered, as well as an examination of the successful uses of the comparative method as examples for future research. The particular data problems for women's studies scholars are discussed. Operationalization of the variable sex or gender is placed in the context of cross-cultural study.

This study examines all 1980 charges under Ohio's new domestic violence law in a large misdemeanor court and concludes that the creation of a new offense category does not cause major changes in measurable court outcomes. For example, 73% of victims who filed charges dropped them before a verdict was reached. This figure is extremely high. Combined with the large number of victims who never file, it suggests that most abusers do not go through a complete trial. Moreover, even when victims persevere and the batterer is found guilty, very little happens to him. Sixty-four percent did not spend even one day in jail, less that 10% were sentenced to alternative programs, and 27% were neither jailed nor placed on probabtion. Even when found guilty, most abusers are neither punished nor offered help. This study makes two recommendations.

The research reported here considers the influence of another respondent characteristic on support for women candidates: family structure. Might being raised in a family headed by a woman make one more likely to be accepting of a woman in positions of leadership? The hypothesis tested here is that people raised in a female-headed household will be more supportive of women political candidates. While the data offer no support for the significance of family structure itself, the analysis does reveal other variables significantly related to support for women candidates in single-parent families and significant differences in the variables influencing those raised in different types of families.","PeriodicalId":83535,"journal":{"name":"Women & politics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1300/J014V16N02_03","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66679486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
