Despite explicit commitments to gender equality, women experience
complex modes of disadvantage and discrimination in all nations of
the world. Offering sophisticated insights into the persistence of
gendered differences in opportunities, roles, power, and rights in
societies across the globe, this volume investigates factors that
both enable and constrain women's advancement. From intimate
relations within families, to social norms, relations, ideologies,
and structures of power, to political institutions, electoral
systems, and public policies, the chapters analyze possibilities
for and obstacles to inclusive democratic practices and identify
interventions essential to enable democratic values to take root.
Contributors from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the USA
provide detailed assessments of the social, economic, and political
condition of women, their mobilizations to produce transform
gendered power and authority in diverse nations, and their efforts
to enhance the quality of their lives, their communities, and
democratic governance.
