From the rear cover
During the 1990s, le mouvement pour la parit successfully campaigned for women's inclusion in elective office with an argument that is unprecedented in the annals of feminism. The paritaristes insisted that if the abstract individual were thought of as sexed, then sexual difference would no longer be a relevant consideration in politics. Scott insists that this argument was neither essentialist nor separatist; it was not about women's special qualities or interests. Instead, parit was rigorously universalist--and for that reason was both misunderstood and a source of heated debate.
