Women & Public Policy

The 20th century has witnessed dramatic changes in women's lives -- changes which in turn have transformed society. Women and Public Policy examines the ways in which this cultural change in the United States has created a need for public policy and how public policy has led to cultural change.

Women and Public Policy discusses traditional issues that affect women -- education, employment, and health care -- and explores other, sometimes overlooked, topics such as insurance, marriage and family law, the criminal justice system, and child care.

Each chapter opens with a vignette offering a glimpse into the life of an individual woman. An index, suggestions for further reading, and chronologies of major events are included.

Gertrude A. Steuernagel is professor of political science at Kent State University.
