The "perennial problem of recruitment" of women candidates for public office is examined in this chapter. The author argues for increased attention to the relationship between involvement in electoral politics, & involvement in social & political organizations. Three types of political recruitment are developed & compared with the literature on women's participation in social movements & civic organizations. This comparison suggests that research should re-conceptualize recruitment as an ongoing process. Further analysis examines the role of identity politics, opportunity structures & the social construction of reality, & gender norms on the recruitment of women into politics. The author concludes that research has only portrayed a partial picture of women's political recruitment, & proposes four research strategies that would recognize the multidimensional role of women in politics.
