        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.

        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
        affectedand designation of candidates as  "the incumbent" and "the
        challenger" in these cases.
