Both yesterday's suffragists and today's feminists have battled for
women to vote and hold office, and their successes have made it
possible for countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Iceland,
Liberia, and the United Kingdom to have female heads of state.
Despite these notable advances, women are still largely
underrepresented in parliaments and governments around the world.
Why, after so many years of feminist struggle, are women still
obstructed from full political citizenship by a glass ceiling?
Manon Tremblay's 100 Questions about Women and Politics discusses
electoral politics in Canada and abroad, focusing on women's rights
to vote and run for office in legislative elections, political
parties, voting systems, electoral quotas for women, and
participation in parliaments and governments. Against a background
of observations taken from academic research, Tremblay uses an
innovative approach by dividing her book into 100 questions and
answers to address a range of important issues. Are electorates
sexist or lesbophobic? Are family responsibilities a real obstacle
to women's engagement in politics? What strategies are available to
increase the number of female politicians? Are gender quotas
democratic? Once elected to office, do women represent women? How
does women's political citizenship in Canada compare to that in
other countries? A timely book on the unfinished work of
representative democracy, 100 Questions about Women and Politics
takes a comprehensive yet concise approach to demystifying the
major issues dominating the study of gender and government.
