Women, work, and politics: the political economy of gender inequality

‘Looking at women’s power in the home, in the workplace, and in politics froma political economy perspective, Torben Iversen and Frances Rosenbluth demonstrate that equality is tied to demand for women’s labour outside the home, which is a function of structural, political, and institutional conditions. They go on to explain several anomalies of modern gender politics: why women vote differently from men; why women are better represented in the work force in theUnited States than in other countries but less well represented in politics; why men share more of the household work in some countries than in others; andwhy some countries have such low fertility rates.’
