一般来说,人们对女性参政的理论认知有两个层面:一是参政是女性实现自身利益的一种不可剥夺的权利,二是女性参政不仅是女性群体自身的需要,更是社会和谐发展和人类进步的需要。应该说,20世纪以来,对女性参政的理论认识,在这两个层面上都有了进步,但相对前者来说,后者的进步就比较有限了。也就是说,人们对女性参政的认识,迄今仍只限于将其作为女性维护自身利 Generally speaking, people have two levels of theoretical cognition of women’s political participation. First, participating in politics is an inalienable right of women to realize their own interests. Second, women’s participation in politics is not only the need of female groups themselves, but also a harmonious development of society And the need of human progress. It should be said that since the 20th century, the theoretical understanding of women’s political participation has made progress on both levels, but the latter’s progress has been more limited compared to the former. In other words, people’s understanding of women’s political participation so far is still limited to using women as their own interests
