Abstract
Women legislators pursue women’s issues policies in the U.S. State legislatures, but their ability to do so is mediated by the political party environment. Short-term party forces, such as party control of the legislative process, and long-term party forces, such as partisan and issue realignment over time, both shape the ways women represent women’s issues. The chapter shows that partisan women in the U.S. State legislatures sponsor different solutions to women’s issues policy problems depending on their own party identification and the party control of the legislative process.
