Teaching primarily in the areas of political parties, political movements, and women, gender, and politics, she has special interests in the United States and West Europe, particularly Britain and Italy. Author of numerous scholarly articles, she is the co-editor of Women's Movements Facing the Reconfigured State (Cambridge, 2003) and author of American Women and Political Participation (Greenwood Press, 1986).
