Preferred term

politics and mothers  

Definition

  • For much of history, the exclusion of women from the world of politics was based on legal, moral, and social beliefs about women's reproductive role—that is, on their motherhood or their potential motherhood. Although today, women may vote and run for political office in most countries in the world, they continue to be underrepresented in politics—a fact that may be traced to definitions of citizenship that focus on soldiers and workers.
