Women burst onto the political scene in Africa after the 1990s,
claiming more than one third of the parliamentary seats in
countries like Angola, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda,
and Burundi. Women in Rwanda hold the highest percentage of
legislative seats in the world. Women s movements lobbied for
constitutional reforms and new legislation to expand women s
rights. This book examines the convergence of factors behind these
dramatic developments, including the emergence of autonomous women
s movements, changes in international and regional norms regarding
women s rights and representation, the availability of new
resources to advance women s status, and the end of civil conflict.
The book focuses on the cases of Cameroon, Uganda, and Mozambique,
situating these countries in the broader African context. The
authors provide a fascinating analysis of the way in which women
are transforming the political landscape in Africa, by bringing to
bear their unique perspectives as scholars who have also been
parliamentarians, transnational activists, and leaders in these
movements.
