Women, Politics, and Power provides a clear and detailed
introduction to women's political participation and representation
across all branches of government and a wide range of countries and
regions. Using broad statistical overviews and detailed case-study
accounts, authors Pamela Paxton, Melanie M. Hughes, and Tiffany
Barnes document both historical trends and the contemporary state
of women's political strength across diverse countries. The text
considers experiences of women from a range of marginalized groups,
including racial, ethnic, and religious minorities; indigenous
peoples; and those that face discrimination based on their sexual
orientation and gender identity. Readers will learn about cultural,
structural, political, and international influences on women's
access to political power, about the old and new barriers women
continue to face like violence, and about the difference women make
once in political office. Dedicated chapters on six geographic
regions highlight distinct influences and patterns in different
parts of the world. There is simply no other book that offers such
a thorough and multidisciplinary synthesis of research on women's
political power around the world.
