Women, Politics, and American Society -- Summary

Nancy E. McGlen, Karen O'Connor, Laura can Assendelft, Wendy Gunther-Canda

This is a summary of the entire book, I'll go back in and do each chapter as well. The book covered every part of women in politics, ranging from their schooling to their family to their hob. Because of the way these different subjects overlap, some of the information was repeated mpre than once, which securely lodged it in my mind. Most of these however, were the broad ideas ot the historical ones, going back to Seneca Falls 1848 in every chapter.

The book greatly relates to our class material, in some places going more in depth and in some places only glancing over objects that we spend full days talking about. For example, it never really goes into Roe v. Wade in the depth that we went into in class. Also, although it does mention historic abortions it doesn't go into as great detail as we did in class. But, on the other hand, there were many more statsitics as is to be expected on paper.
