Women and American Politics
This bibliography is intended to serve as a guide to information about women's participation in American politics. Emphasis is on materials published since 1965, but landmark works published earlier are also included. Many documents are from unpublished sources; information on obtaining them is available from the Center for the American Woman and Politics (CAVP). Citations include information on the following topics; women holding elective and appointive office or employed in government or public service; voting behavior, political attitudes, political participation, and socialization of women; women in the political parties; and women's election campaigns. Also included are a limited number of citations to materials on public policy issues related to women's rights such as the Equal Rights Amendment, abortion, child care, employment, education, and legal rights. Entries are arranged according to document type and are listed alphabetically by author or main entry. Periodicals are not indexed. A general subject index is provided. The bibliography is updated periodically. (Author/KSE) ott'w 04' OSPARTMONTOP NUM NAT IONNI.

From Constitutional Recognition to Public Office
The right to vote and hold public office has been obtained by women after a long and arduous struggle extending over a century. Today, the recognition of this right is embodied in the constitutions of almost all the coun tries which are members of the United Nations. In practice, however, not only is this right abridged in many ways, but also many obstacles are encountered by women as a result of tradition and prejudice, social and economic backwardness, and the general reluctance of men to share power generously with women. The gap between recognition and achievement is still very wide, even in countries which are economically advanced, politically stable, and socially progressive. Even so, it is gratifying to know that, undeterred by this essential deprivation of greater opportunity to hold power, women have made and are still making their contributions in diverse areas of human enterprise and activity, as leaders and initi ators of movements for political and social emancipation, human welfare, and world peace. The struggle for political power, not for power itself, but to enable mankind to build a new social order in peace and freedom, has just begun, and the future of the world depends on how effectively women can organize to meet this challenge.
Evaluation of Lapping Grains based on Shape Characteristics.
The shape and size of abrasive grains during lapping varies complicately and irregularly. In this study, the aspect ratio of grain size and the fractal dimension of the grain external form were used as shape characteristics of grain in order to evaluate grains with lapping time. The results obtained are summarized as follows : (1)The fractal dimension increases due to microscopic fracture and decreases due to macroscopic fracture or attritious wear. (2)The aspect ratio and the fractal dimension, which are grain shape characteristicsis of the macroscopic shape and the microscopic surface complication of grain respectively, can be used for evaluating grain shape variation during lapping.
