Today, it is the umbrella organization for roughly six hundred women\u0026amp;#x2019;s groups in Canada. The authors of this study argue that, if women\u0026amp;#x2019;s movements are to achieve their equality goals, they must develop enduring institutions that allow women\u0026amp;#x2019;s efforts to be organized over the course of several generations. The authors examine the process of institutionalization through an in-depth study of the National Action Committee.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the belief that women\u0026amp;#x2019;s movements in Canada have become more or less permanent features of the political system, operating parallel to its official structures, the author argue the need for a feminist political science that can accommodate the study of both women\u0026amp;#x2019;s politics in their autonomous movements and women\u0026amp;#x2019;s conventional activities in official politics. Indeed, this book undertakes political analysis \u0026amp;#x2018;as if women mattered\u0026amp;#x2019;: it focuses on women\u0026amp;#x2019;s interests and draws on feminist theory while remaining connected to the broad framework of political science.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book documents NAC\u0026amp;#x2019;s evolution as a \u0026amp;#x2018;parliament of women.\u0026amp;#x2019; It shows how the organization moved from a fairly narrow status-of-women focus in its policies to a broadly conceived policy framework that linked such apparently sex-neutral issues as free trade, federalism, and taxation to feminism. Although the more comprehensive feminist approach to public policy proved dangerous for NAC in a conservative era, it also solidified its role and reputation as a major play in equality-seeking politics in Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52545828094232,"sku":"9780802067579","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/politics-as-if-women-mattered-a-political-analysis-of-the-national-action-committee-on-the-status-of-women-paperback-softback-9780802067579","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
