Description:
|
The
aims of this study were:
- to
apply a more sensitive set of measures on political participation
in order to test the largely feminist assertion that women engage
in a wide range of activities hitherto overlooked by researchers;
- to
contribute to a reconceptualisation of the word 'political';
- to
acquire original data about the political activities of women
(and a smaller sample of men) within Northern Ireland.
The
study surveyed women aged 18 or over. In addition, there was a
smaller, support sample of men aged 18 or over, as well as their
wives, resulting in 1185 women and 386 men being interviewed.
