Women's Political Participation in Rural India
This paper explores selected underlying themes related to rural Gujarati women's political participation. An analysis of this data subset provides an understanding of how gender operates in rural Gujarat with respect to women's social mobility as mediated by dimensions such as age, education, socio-economic status and household dynamics. Through qualitative inquiry and a gender-based analysis, this paper reveals the discrepancies between female and male perceptions concerning persistently low levels of female political participation, and in turn informs future directives working towards women's empowerment and gender parity.
