Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"...an important and welcome contribution to the study of women in Israeli politics ... worthwhile reading for all those interested in women in politics." -- Gender & Society

"The conceptual framework for this book draws upon a major theme in feminist literature: women's vacillation between operating outside or inside the political establishment; between mobilizing their own resources or those of the male-dominated political elite. Yishai does an excellent job in applying the mobilization/integration dilemma to the Israeli case. She is successful in showing the tension between mobilization and integration in a country where there is great disparity between the national imperative and feminist interests. Her arguments are clear and concise and she elegantly weaves together the theoretical arguments with interesting data." -- Chava Frankfort-Nachmias, University of Wisconsin--Milwaukee

"There is a dearth of material on women in Israel, and certainly none on women and the polity. This book makes an important contribution to the growing field. It is a superb book and an important contribution to the fields of women's studies, Israel studies, Middle Eastern studies, and comparative politics." -- Madeleine Tress, Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, New York

"This is one of the best books I have ever reviewed. Among the book's strong features are its anchoring of the material in broad political and sociological theory, and its frequent international comparisons, both done through referral to the most important literature in the field." -- Walter F. Weiker, Rutgers University

Reseña del editor:

This first comprehensive study of the political life of Israeli women looks at political participation, political identity, women's political organizations, and public policy regarding women.
