Following significant increases in women's electoral
representation in the 1980s and '90s, progress has stalled. Despite
some high-profile successes at the provincial level, there are now only
a few more women in Canada's parliament and legislatures than a
decade ago. What has happened to the representational gains for women
and why does gender parity remain so elusive?

To answer these questions, "Stalled" provides a detailed
roadmap of women's political representation as candidates,
office-holders, cabinet ministers, party leaders, and as
representatives of the Crown at all levels of government across Canada.
Chapter contributors explore the efforts of political parties,
governments, and women's organizations to recruit more women
candidates and to promote women into executive positions. They assess
prospects for gender parity in political office in each jurisdiction
and institution. In the concluding chapter, the volume editors
re-examine, integrate, and analyze the findings using data from across
the country.

The representation of women in elected and appointed offices is an
important indicator of both gender equality and the overall health of
democratic governance. By this measure Canada continues to fall
short.
