Introduction The research will evaluate the involvement of Elite and middle-class British Women in community affairs and the political sphere. Feminism has always characterized women’s involvement in active politics due to unwarranted gender biases and gender-based violence (Abrams). Male chauvinists began to compare women to African American slaves, making women feel that the relationship between the sexes was biased, controlling and dictatorial. Thesis statement What is the extent of women’s involvement in politics? In the recent past, women have met heightened opposition in their attempts to engage in politics. In fact, they have not only experienced injuries of their vulnerability but have also been largely battered, sexually molested, abused and to certain extremes killed (Chalus, 673). The changes in views of women’s role and modernity taking center stage have created an upsurge in their involvement in active politics to optimum levels that even men have found unmanageable but acceptable. Historical Background of Women Involvement in Politics The abolitionist movement was joined by Quaker abolist men in the effort of Lucretia Mott’s who advocated for women to join it as well. This resulted in learning how to organize and pull the levers of the government with a consequence of teaching women advocacy skills (Chalus, 231). The revolution which had taken place in the United States has had major effects on the philosophical underpinning of the citizens. The roles of women have changed drastically over the years due to the development of democratic ideals, the idea of republican motherhood was had also been incorporated into the society. Political philosophy had for long being in the assumption that that republic rests upon virtues of their citizenry, therefore women were refereed to play essential roles to instill values which are conducive to their children and bringing up of a healthy republic. Abigail Adams has a desire that women would be given positions of leadership in the newly formed republic. It was her desire if Ladies would be remembered by him being generous enough to allow them positions of leadership; this would be much different from how ladies had been treated in earlier administrators in politics (Gleadle, 69). She proclaimed that by being in partnership with women and human rights she will not have limited power in politics. However, The Declaration of Independence remained unchanged, stating, “All men are created equal” Towards Integration in Active Politics The integration of women in active politics took a slow but dynamic turn with a number of factors influencing the pace and rapport at which it moved. Among the factors included:  1. In 1920 there were fewer than two women who were in the Senate but in 1994 the number increased due to continued support of equality of men and women. Representatives in the Senate were also few until 1955 when they increased in number. The current representation is 16 senators and 67 representatives.  2. Democratic space-this is evident especially with the dramatic achievement of Hillary Clinton in the 2008 general elections where she got at least 1898 delegates for the Democratic Nomination. In fact, Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin is the first female Republican vice president
