        Recently there has been a lot of talk about women's rights.           
                                                                              
        Some people feel that women should have an equal role with men in     
        running business, industry, and government.                           
        Others feel that women's place is in the home.

        Prior to 1998, Rs who responded "DK," NA or "haven't thought much     
        about it" to self- placement on the 7-point equal role for women      
        scale were not asked for party placements on this scale.              
                                                                              
        In 1998, the order in which this rating was administered for the
