Anna Mitchell Mahoney's book traces the development of women's state legislative caucuses and the influence both gender and party have on women's ability to organize collectively. She provides a comprehensive analysis of how and why women organize around their gender identity in state legislatures-or why they do not.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWomen Take Their Place in State Legislatures\u003c\/i\u003e includes a quantitative analysis of institutional-level variables and caucus existence in all 50 states. Case studies of caucus attempts in New Jersey, Colorado, Pennsylvania, and Iowa between 2006 and 2010 examine attempts at creating women's caucuses that succeeded or failed, and why. Mahoney's interviews with 180 state legislators and their staff explore the motivations of caucus creators and participants. Ultimately, she finds that women's organizing is contextual; it demonstrates the dynamic nature of gender. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMahoney also provides insights into broad questions regarding gendered institutions, collective action, and political party governance. \u003ci\u003eWomen Take Their Place in State Legislatures\u003c\/i\u003e fills a lacuna in the evaluation of women in government.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna Mitchell Mahoney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439915974\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnna Mitchell Mahoney\u003c\/b\u003e is an Administrative Assistant Professor of Women's Political Leadership at Tulane University's Newcomb College Institute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Temple University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44715301208179,"sku":"9781439915974","price":45.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_d2f83f83-5759-496f-a21f-1a6d27ce6882.jpg?v=1775841475","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/women-take-their-place-in-state-legislatures-the-creation-of-womens-caucuses-9781439915974","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
