Beyond Women, Children, and Families: Gender, Representation, and Public Funding for the Arts
Objectives. Research on the impact of female legislators has found that in their voting records women in elective office tend to be more liberal and more supportive of issues of concern to women, children, and families than are men, differences that conform to gender stereotypes held by voters. This article examines another well‐established gender stereotype that is not linked to the traditional concerns of women as conventionally defined by scho…

Local feminist policy networks in the contemporary American interest group system
Form Follows Function: The Evolution of Feminist Strategies
The contemporary feminist movement that emerged in the mid-1960s had dual origins: liberal women's rights organizations that pursued legislative and judicial reforms, and a radical movement based in numerous small local groups. Over the past 25 years, both movements have been transformed in ways that reflect and complement American federalism. In order to influence legislative policy-making that dominates on the national and state levels, women's…

A Policy of Our Own: Local Feminist Networks and Social Services for Women and Children
This article examines the ways in which a feminist family policy agenda has led to significant political action and change within American cities. Feminist groups, during the past fifteen years, became a part of emerging local women's rights policy networks that effected changes in several services for women and children: libraries (programming for women and non‐sexist children's literature acquisitions policies); public education (gender equit u…

Building Support for the ERA: A Case of “Too Much, Too Late”
A case can be made that non-ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is a classic example of “snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.” After all, the ERA had received overwhelming support in both houses of Congress, passing by a vote of 354 to 23 in the House and 84 to 8 in the Senate. Both major political parties had repeatedly supported the ERA in their national party platforms; not until 1980 did one party (the Republican) adopt a s…
Systemic factors underlying legislative responses to woman suffrage and the equal rights amendment
This article uses a variety of quantitative data in the comparative analysis of slate legislative responses to woman suffrage and the equal rights amendment. Despite the fifty years separating their adoptions, the correlates of passage for each measure were quite similar. A model of policy innovation on women's equity issues was then tested by using legislative actions on the ERA alone. Findings indicate that decisions on the ERA in the states ar…

The Politics of Child Care
Several comprehensive child-care bills were introduced in Congress during the 1970s. None, however, became law. This article argues that child-care legislation faces more difficult problems of agenda building and policy formulation than do most other proposed public policies. These include: societal definition as a "private" issue which is inappropriate for governmental action; lack of a persuasive data base on needs, costs, and impacts to guide …
