This Doctoral Dissertation project addresses an important, yet                  little researched, question on the policy impact of women in                    legislative bodies.  The project explores the extent to which                   female state legislators contribute toward distinctive policy                   outcomes, and the conditions under which such impact is                         strongest.  The underlying assumption is that women are now                     similar to men in representational style, but that they are                     having an impact on outcomes which reflects their special needs                 and life experiences.                                                                                                                                           The researcher employs a multiple methods research design                       consisting of mail surveys, in.person interviews, and archival                  data from eight states.  The research is unique in its focus on                 the legislature as the primary unit of analysis in investigating                the impact of varying proportions of men and women's legislative                activity on legislative outcomes.  The research from this study                 promises to provide a baseline for further investigations of the                role of women in politics.
