Gender Consciousness and Politics (Hardcover): Sue Tolleson Rinehart Gender Consciousness and Politics (Hardcover)
Sue Tolleson Rinehart
R5,274 Discovery Miles 52 740 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book examines the emergence of gender consciousness among women as a significant force in American politics. The author bases her argument on an in-depth empirical analysis of data derived from the U.S. biennial National Election studies of 1974 to 1984, the year of the emergence of the so-called gender gap. The author discusses the fact that while feminism is central to womens' political orientation, the simple awareness of gender differences and group consciousness is a powerful force of change.

Gender Consciousness and Politics (Paperback, New): Sue Tolleson Rinehart Gender Consciousness and Politics (Paperback, New)

R1,469 Discovery Miles 14 690 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Gender Consciousness and Politics is a comprehensive study of American women's political behaviour and attitudes. Using political philosophy, political psychology, history, feminist theory and the anglo-american literary tradition, the author sets the context for an understanding of women's politicization as the result of gender consciousness - the recognition that one's status, roles and attitudes are significantly shaped by the fact of one's sex and the way one's culture regards gender. Broader than a single feminist ideology, gender consciousness includes not only feminist attitudes, but the attitudes and behaviour of some traditional women as well. The central argument of Gender Consciousness and Politics is that gender conscious women identify with other women, judge political actions on the basis of their consequences for women, and articulate their own policy positions in large part as a manifestation of what they believe to be women's points of view.

The last half of the 20th century witnessed explosive growth in science and technology in the developed world, including extraordinary developments in medicine. As medicine's capacity and complexity has grown, so has the popular sense that health care is a right and that the political system should deliver the care. Today, political systems grapple with every imaginable facet of health and health care, from educating and regulating the health workforce to creating systems to pay for the cost of care; from setting and funding the biomedical research agenda to determining who gets what care, when; from clinical preventive services to broader agendas for promoting population health. Although many of these questions seem economic in nature, they are inescapably political questions regarding the authoritative allocation of resources in response to the contention of values and ideas. This major reference collection shines a bright light on health politics. The editors have organized and introduced some of the best of the canon of health politics literature in four volumes covering political analysis of the emergence and shape of health systems, public perceptions of government's responsibility to assure the delivery of care, health care in a comparative perspective, and the politics of health reform. Volume One: Defining Health Systems - Path Dependence and Policy Emergence contains articles that emphasize critical perspectives on the development of given health system structures, with particular attention to the choices, and the paths that led to those choices, in favour of systems driven by private sectors (such as that of the United States) and systems that are more explicitly public (such as the European systems). Volume Two: Tensions in Health Policy - Ethics, Interests, and the Public treats health and health care broadly, including considerations of questions about the meaning of assertions to a "right" to health, the role of prevention in individual and public health, and contentious health care questions such as those surrounding stem cell research and reproductive rights. Volume Three: Health Systems in Comparative Perspective includes articles that illustrate global differences in the politics and policy of health care. Volume Four: the Contemporary Politics of Health System Reform examines the politics of health reform, including articles that address reform proposals as the sources of political conflict they inevitably are.

Claytie and the Lady - Ann Richards, Gender, and Politics in Texas (Paperback, New): Sue Tolleson Rinehart, Jeanie R. Stanley Claytie and the Lady - Ann Richards, Gender, and Politics in Texas (Paperback, New)

It was like a remake of The Cowboy and the Lady, except that this time they weren't friends. The 1990 Texas governor's race pitted Republican Clayton Williams, a politically conservative rancher and oil millionaire, against Democrat Ann Richards, an experienced progressive politician noted for her toughness and quick wit. Their differences offered voters a choice not only of policies and programs but also of stereotypes and myths of men's and women's proper roles.

Claytie and the Lady is the first in-depth look at how gender affected the 1990 governor's race. The authors' analysis reveals that Ann Richards' victory was a result of a unique combination of characteristics. She was simultaneously tough enough to convince voters that she could lead and feminine enough to put them at ease. At the same time, she remained committed to the progressive and women's issues that had won her the early support of feminists and progressives. The authors also show how Clayton Williams' appeal to the Texas cowboy myth backfired when he broke the cowboy code of chivalry to women.

The authors set their discussion within the historical context of twentieth-century Texas politics and the theoretical context of gender politics in order to pose a number of thought-provoking questions about the effects of women's participation in political life. Interviews with key players in the 1990 election, including Governor Ann Richards, add a lively and insightful counterpoint to the text.
