| Abstract | "This book looks at different dimensions of political participation of women voters in India. Elections in India have witnessed increasing electoral participation of women, both as political actors as well as voters. Taking note of this positive development, the book studies what has contributed to this increased turnout among women voters in Indian elections and discusses in detail the factors that facilitate or hinder this participation. Drawing on empirical data from 11 Indian states, it looks at key issues like voting behaviour and political activities of Indian women, individual and motivational factors affecting participation, political socialization of women at home and the role of internalized patriarchy, political opinions, as well as challenges of representation in politics for women in India. An important contribution in the study of voting patterns, this book will be indispensable to scholars and researchers of political studies, women's studies, gender studies, sociology, Indian politics, political sociology, voting behaviour, and South Asian studies. It will also be useful for journalists and activists"-- Provided by publisher. |
