Momentous changes in the relation between women and the state have
advanced women s status around the globe. Women were barred from
public affairs a century ago, yet almost every state now recognizes
equal voting rights and exhibits a national policy bureau for the
advancement of women. Sex quotas for national legislatures are
increasingly common. Ann E. Towns explains these changes by
providing a novel account of how norms work in international
society. She argues that norms don t just provide standards for
states, they rank them, providing comparative judgments which place
states in hierarchical social orders. This focus on the link
between norms and ranking hierarchies helps to account better for
how a new policy, such as equality for women in public life, is
spread around the world. Women and States thus offers a new view of
the relationship between women and the state, and of the influence
of norms in international politics.
