That a constitution should express the will of 'the people' is a
long-standing principle, but the identity of 'the people' has
historically been narrow. Women, in particular, were not included.
A shift, however, has recently occurred. Women's participation in
constitution-making is now recognised as a democratic right.
Women's demands to have their voices heard in both the processes of
constitution-making and the text of their country's constitution,
are gaining recognition. Campaigning for inclusion in their
country's constitution-making, women have adopted innovative
strategies to express their constitutional aspirations. This
collection offers, for the first time, comprehensive case studies
of women's campaigns for constitutional equality in nine different
countries that have undergone constitutional transformations in the
'participatory era'. Against a richly-contextualised historical and
political background, each charts the actions and strategies of
women participants, both formal and informal, and records their
successes, failures and continuing hopes for constitutional
equality.
