The Impact of Women in Congress

by Debra Dodson

This is a major new assessment of the impact of women members of the US Congress on public policy and Congress itself. Drawing on three key case studies--reproductive health, women's health, and health policy--from the 103rd and 104th Congresses, Dodson highlights the complex forces that shape what women members do and their influence on the institution.
