Collage: 50 Years of Women at IPR

From sexism in the workplace and gender attitudes to understanding
women's fear of rape and why the Equal Rights Amendment failed, IPR
faculty have pioneered vital research on women and gender roles across
social, economic, educational, psychological, and health topics since its founding more than 50 years ago.

"The evidence is clear that, over the past 20 years, partisan emotions have splintered such that people feel more attached to their party and more animus toward the other party. A likely effect is that when partisan elites are also separated, policy substance becomes less relevant."
