Analysing the OWD from the perspective of feminist political economy, this book combines a detailed case study with a theoretical framework that reconceptualizes the meanings of state feminism, representation, and democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing interviews and archival materials, Tammy Findlay argues that the feminist bureaucrats (or \"femocrats,\" as they are sometimes known) of the OWD were marginalized even before the rise of neoliberal governance and New Public Management of the 1990s. Achieving substantive democracy for Ontario's women, she contends, requires more than just institutional reforms - it demands \"femocratic administration\" that transforms the entire public service and its relationship with citizens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tammy Findlay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442648961\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442648968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.34h x 6.36w x 1.00d","brand":"Tammy Findlay","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48449610481919,"sku":"9781442648968","price":81.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a4e3203c-76ce-466d-93f5-d7b5281770f3.jpg?v=1777264151","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/femocratic-administration-tammy-findlay-9781442648968","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
