How do women strategically make their mark on state legislatures?
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. Women
Take Their Place in State Legislatures 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. Mahoney also provides
insights into broad questions regarding gendered institutions,
collective action, and political party governance. Women Take Their
Place in State Legislatures fills a lacuna in the evaluation of
women in government.
