Not sure if it hits the definition of a classic (yet), but I can recommend Only Murders in the Building.

There is also evidence that non-electoral participation is more strongly predicted by the importance of political issues related to social topics, such as gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights, and climate change, which ties back to the gendered differences in reported interest levels.

While institutional participation is found to be exclusively driven by interest in politics, particularly among young men, non-electoral participation is affected by both interest in politics and interest in social issues, with young women being more likely to engage in this mode of participation.

Using an original survey, the article examines how gendered perceptions of interest affect young people's political participation. The standard measure of political interest fails to acknowledge young people's repertoires of political actions and overlooks the gendered dimension of ‘political’.
