Beskrivning

This volume is the first to use insights from recent feminist theory on the "ethic of care" to study the slow progress women have made toward political equality.Using empirical case-study materials, including her own interviews with female politicians, Mackay examines "care" as both a political practice and a political idea, using it to explain the current situation with regard to women's representation and to offer a prescription and resource for change.

Recensioner i media

"Mackay presents a wonderful combination of theoretical advance and empirical research....readers soon will realize its rich conceptual thinking, including thorough review, application, and development of feminist theories of care (with attention to their potentially dangerous use as 'essentialist' support for the status quo)....Highly recommended for academic libraries at all levels."--Choice
