THIS PAPER INVESTIGATES WHETHER FACTORS ARE SIGNIFICANT IN EXPLAINING WOMEN'S POLITICAL PARTICIPATION IN STATE LEGISLATURES. PREVIOUS RESEARCH BY ECONOMISTS HAS ONLY INDIRECTLY STUDIED THIS SUBJECT BY EXAMINING THE POLITICAL PROCESS AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO WOMEN'S ISSUES. HUNT AND RUBIN EXAMINED THE RELATIONSHIP OF LABOR MARKET CONSTITUENCIES IN EXPLAINING A STATE'S RATIFICATION OF THE EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT. JONES EXTENDED THEIR ANALYSIS BY INCLUDING A RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION VARIABLE WITH THE BASIC HUNT-RUBIN SPECIFICATION. THIS STUDY DIFFERS FROM BOTH PAPERS IN THAT IT DIRECTLY, RATHER THAN INDIRECTLY, EXAMINES THE POLITICAL PARTICIPATION OF WOMEN. IN PARTICULAR, THIS STUDY EXAMINES WHICH WOMEN'S SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS ARE DEMANDERS OF POLITICAL PARTICIPATION OF WOMEN? ARE ATTITUDES ABOUT THE APPROPRIATE ROLE OF WOMEN RELATED TO THE EXTENT OF WOMEN'S POLITICAL PARTICIPATION? AND WHAT ROLE DO CAMPAIGN RESOURCES PLAY IN THE POLITICAL PARTICIPATION OF WOMEN?

The emphasis on the socialist ideals leads MAS to make great efforts to dissociate itself from "existing socialism" as shown by the nations of the Soviet Bloc. In its attempt to achieve credibility for the democratic socialism and neutrality that are pillars of the society it is trying to create, MAS has been reluctant to ally itself with other parties on the left. Harsh attacks against the Communist Party on international issues leave the impression that establishing credentials as a truly neutral party in foreign affairs is of overriding importance
