A comprehensive global text on women in politics, this book
provides a clear and detailed introduction to women's political
representation across a wide range of countries and regions,
addressing both women's parliamentary representation and women's
ascendance to leadership positions as heads of state or cabinet
ministers. Using broad statistical overviews and detailed
case-study accounts, the book documents both historical trends and
the contemporary state of women's political strength across diverse
countries. It also reviews and evaluates contemporary debates on
why and how women's access to political power varies across
countries. The facts and figures detailed in the book, combined
with its synthesis of existing theory, help to answer questions
such as: Why have women succeeded in obtaining political power in
some countries and not in others? Why did some countries take
decades to elect their first female member of parliament, while
others had women in their first legislative meeting? Is America a
leader in promoting women's political representation, or does it
fall behind other countries?
