Anne Stevens examines the historical and contemporary position of women as political citizens, voters, elected representatives, policymakers, and political leaders. The book evaluates the progress made toward gender equality while highlighting the structural, institutional, cultural, and social barriers that continue to limit women's political participation. The text explores major themes including women's social and economic status, voting behaviour, political representation, electoral systems, quotas, women in executive office, feminist political theory, grassroots activism, and public policy related to gender equality. Drawing on examples from different countries, Stevens analyzes whether greater female representation leads to different political priorities and policymaking outcomes, particularly in areas such as employment, welfare, education, and equal opportunity.  aPolitical participation.  aWomen in politics.  aWomen legislators.  aWomen—Political activity.  cVC OFFICE  c70104d70104  00102ddc4071aSNULbSNULd2026-06-30l0o320.082 STEpVC347r2026-06-30 15:46:15w2026-06-30yVC OFFICEzBooks Received from VC office
