Tammy Findlay – författare

Now in its third edition, Women, Politics, and Public Policy continues to incorporate uniquely Canadian perspectives on the intersectionality of feminism, womenâs politics, and public policy-making. This third edition balances historical content and contemporary politics and offers completely updated statistical data and the latest directions in public policy. Highlighting womenâs politics and policy advocacy in Canada, this comprehensive volume serves students of political science and womenâs studies as well as those studying sociology, history, law, and social work. This core text for second- and third-year students of political science and womenâs studies has been extensively updated to reflect the most current debates, research, and data on contemporary issues such as gender politics and equality, LGBTQ+ issues, global feminist campaigns such as the #MeToo and Timeâs Up movements, the impact of digital generations on politics, and the impacts of policy on minority and marginalized women.

Femocratic Administration examines the gendered nature of public administration through a study of the Ontario Women’s Directorate (OWD) between 1985 and 2000. Analysing the OWD from the perspective of feminist political economy, this book combines a detailed case study with a theoretical framework that reconceptualizes the meanings of state feminism, representation, and democracy.Using interviews and archival materials, Tammy Findlay argues that the feminist bureaucrats (or “femocrats,” as they are sometimes known) of the OWD were marginalized even before the rise of neoliberal governance and New Public Management of the 1990s. Achieving substantive democracy for Ontario’s women, she contends, requires more than just institutional reforms – it demands “femocratic administration” that transforms the entire public service and its relationship with citizens.
