Though the number of women elected to the U.S. state legislatures has increased        substantially in the last forty years, researchers still struggle to connect the        presence of women in the legislature to public policy outcomes that affect women.          One reason for this struggle is that we lack a complete understanding of how        political parties modify the relationship between women legislators' interests in        representing women and the creation of public policies that concern them.In How        Women Represent Women: Political Parties, Gender and Representation in the State        Legislatures, Tracy L. Osborn argues that political parties fundamentally shape the        pursuit of women's policy issues in American politics. When women represent women,        they do so as partisans.Drawing on a comparative study of U.S. state legislatures        using original election, sponsorship, and roll call data in nearly all ninety-nine        state legislative chambers in 1999-2000, Osborn argues that political parties        influence women legislators both on an individual and a structural level. First,        women's party identities shape the types of alternatives they offer to solve women's        policy problems. Second, parties, by holding majority control (to varying degrees)        over agenda setting and policy creation, have the institutional ability to constrain        and dictate which policy proposals have a chance to become laws.How Women Represent        Women provides a rigorous theoretical and practical understanding of what        partisanship means and how parties fundamentally shape the pursuit of women's policy        issues in American politics today.
