- Summary:
- This volume is the first to use insights from recent feminist theory on the "ethic of care" to study the slow progress women have made toward political equality.
- Using empirical case-study materials, including her own interviews with female politicians, Mackay examines "care" as both a political practice and a political idea, using it to explain the current situation with regard to women's representation and to offer a prescription and resource for change.
