Do certain policy issues appear to increase women's influence more than others? To what extent has capitalism and global entrepreneurship impacted the influence of women? What structural, political, ideological, military, and educational limitations and barriers do women continue to face? How has the meaning of violence against women altered if at all in the 21st centrury? Do women with political power work to improve the lives of women or do women continue to see the impact of class, race, and gender irrespective of the increase of women's political influence?
