Women and Politics in Western Europe 1st Edition – PDF/EPUB Version Downloadable

First Published in 1986. The modern women’s movement has exerted a profound influence upon contemporary political thought, research, and action in Western Europe. Despite important differences within – and cross-national in – the ideological and political orientations of modern feminism, the overall impact of this movement has been pronounced, albeit largely unrecognised and unexplored within the Western European and especially European politics fields. The publication of this volume represents an important step towards bringing research on women and organised feminism, on the one hand, and European politics, on the other, to the attention of area specialists.
