Critics claim that gender or race consciousness is inherently \"reverse discrimination.\" In the article which follows this and other objections to affirmative action are explored and critiqued. A review of the relevant case law suggests that the poor quality of the posture and litigation of affirmative action cases has helped to reinforce the negative mythology. It is further suggested that the full socio-economic integration of women and minorities into American society must be understood as underlying affirmative action programs and that federal law must be understood as fully supportive of these policies.","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/J014V07N01_04","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66674645","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}

Federal regulations that affect older women and also the role of the medical establishment are examined.

It is suggested that women tend to be seen as burdens to the health care system and face both age and sex discrimination from many health care providers. This is the disease that needs to be cured.","PeriodicalId":83535,"journal":{"name":"Women & politics","volume":"6 1","pages":"59-69"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1300/J014V06N02_06","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66674151","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}

Women are forced to bear the costs of making fetal rights real, burdening them without demonstrating any clear patterns of benefit to fetuses. It concludes that social policy that cares about women and empowers them will serve fetuses as well.","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/J014V13N03_08","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66678461","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}

In spite of the prevailing reality of patriarchy and male domination, many rural women have been able to surmount the obstacles which have prevented the vast majority from becoming successful farmers and marketers. In this article, cases are depicted in which women have overcome barriers and become participants in markets due, in part, to local political action. The women joined organizations, worked together, and expressed voice, making demands and acquiring influence with which they have been able to obtain agricultural services and access to markets. From the description and comparison of the cases, five conditions are identified in which the ability of rural women to participate in markets and politics is enhanced. They are collective action, participation, skills development, interventions by change agents, and influence by women's movements over states.","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_02","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66679480","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}

We find that religious involvement and orthodoxy are strong predictors of opposition to legal abortion among African-American women, but are not associated with opposition to gender equality. Indeed, some religious variables strongly associated with anti-feminism among whites are associated with increased support for organized feminism among African-American women. Additional analysis of the data suggests that messages of racial equality and collective action heard in African-American churches spill over to the realm of gender politics and explain support among religious African-American women for organizations that promote gender equity.","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/J014V12N02_02","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66677736","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}

A sample of 1336 Democratic and Republican delegates to the 1972 national nominating conventions was used to compare the political expectations and aspirations of men and women. Women were found tohave less interest in holding public officebut equalled men in aspiring to party careers. Party as well as sex differences affected the political ambitions of female elites, with Democratic women more likely to pursue public office holding and Republican women remaining committed to the party sphere. Women's roles in the family and at work were also found to influence the development of political ambition among women. In addition, gender roles had an impact on the type of ambition women developed and the styles of activism they pursued.","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/J014V01N01_02","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66669525","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}

While the differences in the careers of women and men lawyers have been explained in terms of either structural organizational constraints or tokenism, neither adequately addresses the persistence of the gender-based pecking order in law. It is argued here that part of the reason why this two-tiered pecking order persists is related to the meanings attached to gender itself. No one has examined the social construction of gender in the legal profession. Thus, the analyses reported here add a new dimension to the research on the legal profession. This paper focuses on the content of gender interpretations and the professional contexts in which these interpretations are found. I examine these by analyzing the attitudes of women and men lawyers and their observations of gender bias in professional situations.
