Critics Review
“This invaluable textbook admirably fulfils its aim of bringing women into the analysis of contemporary politics. It is a must for students on politics courses.”
Times Higher Education Supplement
“This excellent and much needed book provides a wealth of information about women’s political behaviour and experiences. It challenges both the neglect of women in mainstream politics texts and women’s actual absences from positions of political power. It will be an invaluable resource for politics courses which already study women; it should be compulsory reading for lecturers on those which currently don’t.”
Valerie Bryson, University of Huddersfield
“This clearly written, broad-ranging and accessible book offers a comprehensive account of the burning issues facing women in contemporary politics. Covering local, national and international arenas, Wendy Stokes provides well-selected and up-to-date data on women’s role in political parties, parliament, governments and international organizations. This will be an invaluable core textbook for all students of women and politics.”Judith Squires, University of Bristol
