Abstract
T HE EXISTENCE of sex differences in political behavior is one of the most consistently repeated findings in empirical studies of political socialization, voting behavior and political participation. However, the necessity for more complete explanation of the political female becomes obvious upon reading the sparse, relevant literature. While the extant research in this area has focused on female political attitudes and voting, little attention has been devoted to explaining the origin of these attitudes and rarely, if ever, has the female voter been the object of intense investigation. The purpose of the present investigation is twofold: (1) to present a theoretical explanation for the existence of distinctly female political attitudes, and; (2) to derive and initially test some hypotheses about the nature of these attitudes and their possible relation to the female vote.
