Reviews

I love how the book crosses disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries to offer a kaleidoscopic adventure which raises 'novel ideas, puzzles, controversies, and debates' around feminist perspectives on women and politics. This book offers an impressive and incisive thought leadership on women in science, politics, policy, peace, place, art, and leadership itself. --Tony Wall, Liverpool John Moores University
