Examines whether political empowerment has the same positive consequences for women as for ethnic & racial minorities in terms of political attitudes & participation. Data from the 1992 National Election Study & the Almanac for American Politics, 1990, 1992, & 1994, are used to explore whether women who are represented by women in Congress are more likely to (1) be interested in & participate in politics; (2) have a greater sense of political efficacy, competence, & trust; & (3) evaluate Congress as an institution more favorably than do women represented by men. In general, this is found to be true. Moreover, the findings clearly seem to be a function of empowerment, rather than of other factors that might account for both the election of a woman to Congress & differences in her constituents' attitudes & behavior. 24 References.
