        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.                                                          
                                                                              
        Where would you place <the Democratic Presidential Candidate> on this 
        scale? (7-POINT SCALE SHOWN TO R)

        This variable referred to McGovern in 1972, Carter in 1976 and 1980,  
        Dukakis in 1988, and Clinton in 1996.

        In all years before 1996, if R replied DK or "haven't thought much    
        about it" rating self on this same 7-point scale, then R was not asked
        this question.                                                        
                                                                              
        In 1996, randomization occurred for the order of the 3 major          
        Presidential candidate names for this placement.
