The authors of Women in Washington speak from experience. Many have held positions of influence in the federal government; all have been at the forefront of the most recent struggle to better the lives of American women through the political process. They synthesize here the lessons of two decades of exhilarating successes and frustrating failures, the strategies and tactics employed, and the implications for future efforts by women to affect national policy. Individual essays consider such areas as education, employment, law and business; together they testify to the wider social and political role that so-called 'women's issues' have played in shaping American society since the early 1960s. This book is destined to shape the agenda of the women's movement for the next generation.Tinker, Irene is the author of 'Women in Washington: Advocates for Public Policy - Irene Tinker - Paperback' with ISBN 9780803920705 and ISBN 0803920709.
