This book looks at different dimensions of political participation
of women voters in India. Elections in India have witnessed an
increasing electoral participation of women, both as political
actors and as voters. Taking note of this positive development, the
book looks at what has contributed to this increased turnout among
women voters in Indian elections and discusses in detail the
factors that facilitate or hinder this participation. Drawing on
empirical data from 11 Indian states, it looks at key issues like
the voting behaviour and political activities of Indian women;
individual and motivational factors affecting participation; the
political socialization of women at home; the role of internalized
patriarchy and political opinions; along with the challenges faced
by women in attaining representation in Indian politics. An
important contribution in the study of voting patterns, this book
will be indispensable to scholars and researchers of political
studies, women’s studies, gender studies, sociology, Indian
politics, political sociology, voting behaviour and South Asian
studies. It will also be useful for journalists and activists.
