Gender differences touch all aspects of life, including the
different impact public policy has on men and women. Inequalities
persist in the areas traditionally treated as feminist
concerns--day care, pay equity, equal access to credit--but they
also abound in such issues as tax policy and plant shutdowns. This
collection of essays illustrates the durability and complexities of
existing inequities by examining the impact of gender differences
in public policy outcomes. The book evaluates the manner in which
public policy analysis and political theory can be used to gain
increased insight into the major issues of the day. Using existing
forms of public policy analysis, the chapters explore gender
differences in a variety of subject areas. Following an
introduction by editor Mary Lou Kendrigan, a survey of compensation
for victims of crime examines criminal justice policy. Four
separate essays address the topic of employment policy:
manufacturing-job loss among blue-collar women; gender differences
in the impact of a plant shutdown; women, employment, and training
programs; and sex differentials in employment rates in
male-dominated occupations during economic downturns. Tax policy
and its treatment of women is the focus of an updated study; an
analysis of the impact of American tourism policy covers economic
development; and the neglected group of women veterans represents
the area of veterans policy. A study of the social world and
political community of the head injured characterizes the issue of
family policy, and a concluding chapter by Kendrigan completes the
volume. For courses in public policy analysis, women's studies, and
contemporary political theory, this book will be avaluable
references source. It will also be a significant addition to the
collections of public, college, and university libraries.
