“…She's our mentor. (Twin Cities community member interview D, June 2, 2014) These comments align with the role-model hypothesis from the women and politics literature (Darcy, Welch, and Clark 1994;Elder 2004), which suggests that when young people have role models in public life, they are more likely to feel included and consider careers in public service.…”

“…Deux groupes ont été constitués, les femmes qui s'engagent pleinement sur la voie de la politique et celles qui restreignent leur participation. Étant donné que la majorité des participantes ne sont pas encore actives en politique, la variable « engagement communautaire », identifiée comme un déterminant de l'engagement politique (Elder, 2004), a été utilisée pour séparer les deux groupes. Une analyse discriminante nous a permis d'identifier les facteurs distinguant ces deux groupes, dont la résilience, l'auto-évaluation de compétences personnelles, relationnelles et politiques.…”

“…L'identification des facteurs qui incitent les femmes à faire carrière en politique, ou les découragent, a fait l'objet de nombreux travaux de recherche (Atkeson, 2003 ;Elder, 2004 ;Fox et Lawless, 2004 ;Campbell et Wolbrecht, 2006 ;Paxton et al, 2007 ;Wolbrecht et Campbell, 2007). Il a ainsi été démontré que la socialisation aux rôles féminins et masculins a un impact important sur les intentions des femmes de se lancer, ou non, en politique (Elder, 2004 ;Fox et Lawless, 2004 ;.…”

La politique est un milieu difficile dans lequel les femmes doivent surmonter des embûches au quotidien. L’objectif général de cette étude est de comparer le profil des femmes politiquement engagées avec celui de celles qui le sont moins. Dans cette optique, un questionnaire a été acheminé à des femmes ayant participé à l’École Femmes et Démocratie (2004 à 2009), qui offre une formation à celles qui souhaitent se lancer en politique. Le questionnaire regroupait des énoncés que les chercheurs avaient identifiés comme mesurant des facteurs de prédiction de l’engagement des femmes en politique, mais sans nécessairement les avoir testés empiriquement auprès d’échantillons concernés. Deux groupes ont été constitués, les femmes qui s’engagent pleinement sur la voie de la politique et celles qui restreignent leur participation. Étant donné que la majorité des participantes ne sont pas encore actives en politique, la variable « engagement communautaire », identifiée comme un déterminant de l’engagement politique (Elder, 2004), a été utilisée pour séparer les deux groupes. Une analyse discriminante nous a permis d’identifier les facteurs distinguant ces deux groupes, dont la résilience, l’auto-évaluation de compétences personnelles, relationnelles et politiques. Cette étude contribue à une compréhension plus juste du vécu des femmes qui s’engagent sur la voie de la politique. On parle alors de contributions théorique et pratique.Politics is a challenging environment in which women must overcome obstacles on a daily basis. The general objective of this study was to compare the profile of women who are more politically involved with those who are less involved. In this context, a questionnaire was sent to women who participated in the École Femmes et Démocratie (School Women and Democracy, 2004-2009), which offers training to women who consider a political career. The questionnaire contained items identified by researchers as measuring women’s political commitment, but not necessarily empirically tested in relevant samples. Two groups were formed, women who are fully committed to politics and those who limit their participation. In view of the fact that the majority of participants were not yet active in politics, the variable “community involvement,” identified as a determinant of political commitment (Elder, 2004), was used to divide the two groups. Discriminant analysis allowed us to identify the factors distinguishing the two groups, such as resilience, personal, relational and political self-evaluations of competence. This study contributed to a more accurate understanding of the experiences of women who engage on the road of politics. As such, theoretical and practical implications were discussed

“…At the same time, studies have shown that "young women clearly appreciate female politicians, which means the female politicians are examples and models of the young women, so they are likely to promote women to participate in politics." [7].…”
