Sylvia Bashevkin est la plus haute autorité canadienne pour ce qui concerne le rapport des femmes à la politique. À l’aide d’un cadre comparatif et d’un modèle de recherche novateur, elle a éclairé les luttes politiques féminines et leurs triomphes et elle a stimulé le débat public sur la participation des femmes à la vie politique. Ses travaux de grande envergure, interdisciplinaires et fondés sur une méthodologie complexe, ont contribué de façon importante aux sciences politiques, aux études des femmes, à la sociologie et aux politiques publiques.
