This is a major new assessment of the impact of women members of the US Congress on public policy and Congress itself. Drawing on three key case studies (reproductive health, women's health, and health policy) from the 103rd and 104th Congresses, Dodson highlights the complex forces that shape what women members do and their influence on the institution.
