This Palgrave Handbook provides a definitive account of women's
political rights across all major regions of the world, focusing
both on women's right to vote and women's right to run for
political office. This dual focus makes this the first book to
combine historical overviews of debates about enfranchising women
alongside analyses of more contemporary efforts to increase women's
political representation around the globe. Chapter authors map and
assess the impact of these groundbreaking reforms, providing
insight into these dynamics in a wide array of countries where
women's suffrage and representation have taken different paths and
led to varying degrees of transformation. On the eve of many
countries celebrating a century of women's suffrage, as well as
record numbers of women elected and appointed to political office,
this timely volume offers an important introduction to ongoing
developments related to women's political empowerment worldwide. It
will be of interest to students and scholars across the fields of
gender and politics, women's studies, history and sociology.
