CAWP and University of Michigan Press Launch Book Series
The CAWP Series in Gender and American Politics publishes innovative work on gender and politics. We invite manuscripts that push the boundaries of current thinking about the intersection of gender and politics; that demonstrate the centrality of gender to our understanding of American democracy; that are attentive to linkages among theory, empirical analysis, and political practice; and that study under-represented groups and under-researched topics within the field of women and politics. We encourage work that recognizes how other categories of analysis, including race, ethnicity, class, and sexuality, help to constitute and inform gender politics. The series is open to a variety of methodological approaches, and favors projects that employ multiple or innovative methods.
The CAWP Series in Gender and American Politics is published by the University of Michigan Press in association with the Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP) at Rutgers University. Series editors are Susan J. Carroll (Rutgers University) and
Kira Sanbonmatsu (Rutgers University).

"Have Women State Legislators In the United States
Become More Conservative?:
A Comparison of State Legislators in 2001 and
1988"
Susan J. Carroll, Professor of Political Science and CAWP senior scholar, wrote this article published in Atlantis 27:2(2003): 128-139. Findings in this article include: Women state legislators in the United States
in 2001 are more liberal in their political
ideology and policy attitudes than their male
colleagues, just as they were in 1988.
Nevertheless, a notable change is evident in
the ideological predispositions of Republican
Party women, especially in the lower houses
of the legislatures. Republican women
representatives in 2001 are more
conservative and more like their male
counterparts than they were in the late
1980s.
