Reviews

Women, Power, and Political Representation approaches the very broad topic of 'women in politics' in a diverse and intersectional way. There is a lot of appetite for a volume like this, particularly from students who are first learning about the under-representation of women in politics. - Kelly Gordon, Assistant Professor of Political Science, McGill University
