Silence and Privilege: The Conceputalisation of Women in Government Reports 1

Silence and Privilege: The Conceputalisation of Women in Government Reports 1 This article seeks to demonstrate the ways in which women have been conceptualised in three Government Reports - Maud (1967), Robinson (1977) and Widdicombe (1986). It is argued that, where they are considered at all, women are usually assumed to be the dependents of men, or conceptualised as social roles. It is further argued that the rise of the New Women's Movement-has raised the consciousness of (invariably male) authors to women's position, revealing priorities of power and privilege. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Public Policy and Administration SAGE

Abstract

This article seeks to demonstrate the ways in which women have been conceptualised in three Government Reports - Maud (1967), Robinson (1977) and Widdicombe (1986). It is argued that, where they are considered at all, women are usually assumed to be the dependents of men, or conceptualised as social roles. It is further argued that the rise of the New Women's Movement-has raised the consciousness of (invariably male) authors to women's position, revealing priorities of power and privilege.
