Mothers and others : the role of parenthood in politics  Cover Image Book Book

Mothers and others : the role of parenthood in politics / edited by Melanee Thomas and Amanda Bittner.

Summary:

"The first major comparative analysis of parenthood in politics, Mothers and Others brings together leading scholars of gender and politics to discuss the role of parental status in political life. Examining three main areas of citizen engagement within the political system - parenthood and political careers, parenthood and the media, and parenthood and political behaviour - they argue that being a parent is a gendered identity that influences how, why, and to what extent women (and men) engage with politics. This raises important questions about how career politicians, voters, and the media navigate the intersection of gender, parental status, and politics."-- Provided by publisher.
