The combined emphasis on both women and politics sets this journal apart from other social science and political science journals. A pioneer in gender studies since its founding in 1980, this journal encourages research and the development of theory on women's political participation, the role of women in society, and the impact of public policy upon women's lives. Articles are focused on explaining and enhancing women's place in politics including the areas of political philosophy, international relations, American politics, and comparative politics. It is published by The Haworth Press. Click here for a the table of contents of the journal since 1991.
