and practice of democracy differ (Voet, 1998), but they concur on the need
to reconceptualize citizenship and broaden themeaning of politics by re
drawing the boundaries between the public and the private spheres. The
apparently gender-neutral language used in liberal theories of democracy
perpetuates existing disadvantages in the participation of women in social
and political decision-making.
Historically, women's access to citizenship has been gradual, often
through distinctively separate criteria. This has not eroded discrimination,
but reinforced political marginality (as in the post-suffrage silencing of
women's
groups
in the 1930s
and 1940s,until the 1970s) and increased dependency (as in schemes that link

the 1995Beijing Conference) have forcedmultilateral agencies to reshape their own work
