Women, Political Action and Political Participation in a Course: Ethnic and Minorty Politics

Abstract

In the fall of 1983, I used, “Women, Political Action and Political Participation,” by Virginia Sapiro, as part of a group of materials in a course on “Ethnic and Minority Politics.” The purpose of the course was to evaluate the experience of different groups in their struggle to achieve political power, to examine how these struggles resembled one another and how they differed, and to take a closer look at some major political actors.
