'This timely book addresses the political under-representation of women and over-representation of men, both in the UK and internationally.' Orly Siow, Journal of Pragmatics 'The primary strength of this book lies in its close examination of female politicians' actual linguistic performances ... As such, this book makes a valuable contribution to the study of (women's) political discourse and is likely to appeal to those with an interest in the complex intersections of language, gender, politics, and power.' Caolan O'neill, Language in Society
