- Title
Explaining Frame Variation: More Moderate and Radical Demands for Women's Citizenship in the U.S. Women's Jury Movements.

McCammon, Holly J.
- Abstract
The article looks at variations in the framing of arguments among 20th-century U.S. women's jury movements. According to the author, jury activists used both a traditional frame highlighting women's differences from men, and a radical frame highlighting their intellectual equality. It is suggested that frame variation among these activists was driven by their organizational identities and processes of counterframing and political and cultural resonance. Other topics include women lawmakers, political strategy, and political rhetoric.
