Extract

Today's policymaking process encompasses a broad range of participants: legislative, executive, and judicial office holders; members of the bureaucracy; and leaders of nongovernmental organizations, including nonprofit and volunteer organizations, private businesses, and interest groups. During the past three decades, women have become significant players in American policymaking, though their success rates have been uneven. Since local jurisdictions have provided better opportunities for women to influence the policy process, I ask the question: What roles do women play as policy influentials and leaders in local government decision making?
