Women are gaining ground as presidents of Latin America. Women
leaders in presidential systems (particularly women directly
elected by the public) were generally limited to daughters and
wives of male executives or opposition leaders. With the election
of Michelle Bachelet in Chile, these traditional patterns appeared
to be shifting. This book asks: what conditions allowed for a
broadening of routes, beyond family ties, for women in Latin
America? Do women presidents of Latin America use their powers to
enhance women's representation? While providing valuable insight
into the big picture of women in presidential politics throughout
Latin America over the last several decades, this book more closely
analyzes four women presidents gaining office since 2006: Michelle
Bachelet (Chile) Cristina Fernandez (Argentina) Laura Chinchilla
(Costa Rica) and Dilma Rousseff (Brazil). It assesses the paths and
impacts of Latin American women presidents and scrutinizes the ways
gender shapes both aspects. No other scholar has offered such an
in-depth analysis of the paths and actions of women presidents of
Latin America. As such, this book offers important contributions to
the gender in politics literature. Its multi-methodological
approach consisting of original data collection from field work and
in person interviews of political elites and experts combined with
an analysis of a host of secondary sources including media articles
and public opinion data makes this work exceptionally
comprehensive. Its findings are applicable to those studying women,
gender, and politics as well as comparative politics, Latin
American politics, and leadership studies.
