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.

WOMEN'S EQUAL ROLE-- HOUSE CHALLENGER CANDIDATE'S RATING ON 7-POINT
SCALE
-------------------------------------------------------------------
USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.
For all years, this var has been built from placements of Democratic
and Republican House candidates. SEE VCF9097, VCF9102.
The 1982 dataset included 2 sets of contact vars for 2 running
incumbents due to redistricting in two congressional districts (19
cases affected). For this year, the incumbent who represented R's
sampling location BEFORE the 1982 redistricting has been considered
R's 'incumbent' for Cumulative Data File definition. The other
candidate, the incumbent previously representing another Congressional
district (i.e., not previously representing the district of R's sample
location) has been considered the 'challenger' to the running
incumbent. See notes VCF0902 describing congressional districts
affected and designation of candidates as "the incumbent" and "the
challenger" in these cases.
