Designing Feminist Institutions provides a novel study of feminist institutionalism in practice. Drawing on her own ethnographic research within the UK House of Commons, Sarah Childs suggests that political institutions in need of gender sensitizing would benefit from the perspectives of feminist academic critical actors. Childs defines these scholars as both analysts and agents of change who are embedded in legislatures to think about institutional design from the inside out. By reflecting on her experience as a feminist academic critical actor, Childs advances feminist institutionalist theory through a novel consideration of the experience, knowledge, and perspectives necessary to instigate and institute feminist change.
