“…While previous Euro-Barometers focusing on women in 1975 (Rabier and Inglehart 1978) and 1977 (Rabier and Inglehart 1980) have been criticized for not posing questions that would elicit respondents' true feelings about feminism (Black 1980), the 1983 Euro-Barometer survey corrects many of the problems of the two previous studies. The questions we have selected address the idea that feminism involves a radical change, especially eliminating a subordinate role for women in society and increasing women's relative power.…”

“…We are aware that many scholars (e.g., Black 1980Black , 1989 distinguish between social feminism (a belief that women have unique characteristics and that feminine qualities should also be incorporated into public life) and equity feminism (that women are no different from men and simply seek equality with men). This measure does not attempt to distinguish between the two types of feminism.…”

“…1986). Most European studies, however, have focused on the institutional features of these movements and their political environments, while studies of the mass attitudinal bases for feminist politics remain largely confined to studies of the United States (exceptions include Black [1980]; Davis and Robinson [1991]; Klein [1987]; Wilcox [1991]). …”

Although several studies explore the political environments and institutional features of Western European women's movements, few have examined the mass attitudinal bases for feminist politics in Europe. This article extends the study of feminist politics by testing models of feminist attitudes developed in the United States with data collected in the European Community in 1983. We explore the connections between the support of feminist goals and measures of marital status, female employment, socioeconomic level, age, religiosity, place of residence, and political party identification, focusing on differences in the predictors of male and female attitudes. Consistent with studies of the United States, we find that women's labor force participation fosters feminist attitudes among themselves and their husbands. Age, education, religiosity, and partisanship are also found to be predictors of feminist support. In contrast to studies of American women and men, we find that marital status has no effect in Europe. Our conclusions have implications for the future of feminist politics in Europe.

“…Klein (1987) and Wilcox (1991) have described in some detail the determinants and consequences of feminist consciousness among West European women, but these authors did not fully explore more general gender role attitudes. Black (1978;1980) provides useful bivariate analysis of West European women's attitudes toward political equality, but again does not ex-amine the wider range of attitudes toward gender roles. None of these studies explored male attitudes toward gender roles, and only one (Wilcox, 1991) used any sort of multivariate analysis to separate out the effects of various demographic, political, and social variables.…”

Abstract. This paper examines attitudes to the role of women in the public and private spheres among West European men and women. There are inter‐country differences that are partly explained by history, politics, and religion. There are also consistent gender differences in these attitudes, a finding quite different from that in the U.S. Over time, gender role attitudes have become more egalitarian. The sources of these changes seem to be changing attitudes of individuals toward the public role of women, and generational replacement in the case of the private roles. Finally, the determinants of men's and women's attitudes vary across countries in patterns that are generally predictable.

“…Because the Progressive cycle of protest peaked in 1920, political parties, interest groups, and even the women's movement found themselves reacting to progressive issues and discourse. While the women's rights movement was always divided between social and equity feminists (see Black 1980Black , 1989, the Progressive movements and dominance of progressive frames forced the issue of protective legislation to the top of the women's movement's agenda, splitting the first wave for over 30 years (Sklar 1986). …”

This article makes two related arguments. First, a rising cycle of protest may influence existing movements by altering their tactics, providing new allies, and altering others' perceptions of the movements. I illustrate these effects with examples drawn from the Swiss women's movement. The Swiss women's movement is unique because the first wave was still pursuing the enfranchisement of women when the second wave mobilized in the 1960s.
