Reviews

Their analysis of the descriptive and substantive representation of women within the Conservative Party is comprehensive, detailed and clearly argued. By situating their analysis within the context of overall party strategy they make a significant and distinctive contribution to the emerging literature on Cameron and the Conservatives. - Timothy Heppell, The Journal of Legislative Studies , 18:3-4, 534-535
