Publication Type: Proceeding Abstract: Culture is an important mediator regarding the roles and activities that women deem appropriate for themselves. Research has shown that women are more reluctant to engage in what they see as aggressive political behaviors such as attempts to politically persuade others. However, studies of Latino and African American women suggest that their specific cultural contexts may serve to provide them with increased opportunities for political participation and the potential for increased political power. The specific circumstances of life experienced by these groups of women may lead them to increased interaction with the political system, thus leading to an increase in political behaviors. This paper examines gendered political behavior and asserts that cultural context has immense explanatory value regarding the relative political disparities among women. While everyone experiences some degree of gender socialization and the power differentials often created through this process, this paper suggests that culture is an important mediator for such experiences. Implications of this include the cultural production of circumstances favorable to increased political power among women.
