Feminism and Politics: A Comparative Perspective is a non-fiction book written by Joyce Gelb, published in 1989 by the University of California Press. In it, she argues that gender-based women's groups separate from institutions like political parties are more likely to develop independent strategies and, thus, may have a greater political impact.^[1] It compares the feminist movement in Sweden, the United States, and the United Kingdom and is based on over 200 interviews Gelb conducted with feminist activists, academics, and politicians.^[2]^[3]^[4] She contends that feminist movements in the United States are most effective in enacting change because they most closely align with this model of greater independence.
