- Abstract
Women, Politics, and Power provides a clear and detailed introduction to women's political representation across a wide range of countries and regions. Using broad statistical overviews and detailed case-study accounts, authors Pamela Paxton and Melanie Hughes document both historical trends and the contemporary state of women's political strength across diverse countries. There is simply no other book that offers such a thorough and multidisciplinary synthesis of research on women's political power from around the world.
