Politics, whether electoral or work-based, is concerned with the public sphere, the man’s realm: the woman’s sphere is private, and therefore apolitical. This is still the conventional wisdom of most political science and political sociology, and is the product of traditions of thought which are, in both their theoretical and empirical dimensions, rooted in masculine experience. In this book, Janet Siltanen and Michelle Stanworth bring together a collection of essays which challenge this portrait of women’s relations to politics, and show it to be profoundly mistaken. The authors demonstrate how all the traditions of political analysis have failed to take into account women’s capacity for political action and thought, and argue for a reconstruction of political analysis which recognizes the importance of gender.
