Research Frontier Essay: When Are Interests Interesting? The Problem of Political Representation of Women

Virginia Sapiro

American Political Science Review, 1981, vol. 75, issue 3, 701-716

Abstract: Recent years have witnessed an increasing demand by women for political representation of women. This demand points the way toward a number of important problems for political research, many of which remain unsolved primarily because of the segregation of women's studies from the dominant concerns of political science. This discussion focuses on the problem of group interests and representation, drawing on and suggesting further research on public opinion, interest groups, social movements, international politics, political elites, and public policy.
