The authors of previous weeks all detailed their theories on the role of citizens in urban politics. Yet‚ none of the authors‚ save of Pasciuti‚ wrote in detail of the status of women in municipal democracy. Mills touched upon the role of women in the “power elite” in his book of the same title‚ but the role of women in New Haven society is secondary in Mills’ account
