This book contributes to our understanding of the trajectories and
prerogatives of female political leaders in the varying context of
democratization, political institutions and cultural norms. No
woman had been elected leader of a country before 1960, but with
democratic transitions on the rise since the 1970s, the number of
women in executive office gradually became a trend of global scope.
In 2015, nineteen countries had an elected female Head of State
and/or Government, a proportionally small number that is expected
to climb as more women compete for high office, sometimes against
other female candidates. This volume compares how women executives
differ in promoting gender equality and advocating for women's
rights and interests, as well as in their ability to negotiate
gender policy agendas. Comparative and theoretical chapters on
post-transition women leaders are complemented by case studies in
eight countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern and
Central Europe. This book will be of use to students and scholars
interested in gender studies, comparative politics, and political
leadership.
