Women and Politics Around the World [2 Volumes]: A Comparative History and SurveyJoyce Gelb, Marian Lief Palley Bloomsbury Academic, 2009 - 657 páginas A unique two-volume examination of the progress women have made in achieving political equality, Women and Politics around the World addresses both transnational and gender-related issues as well as specific conditions in more than 20 countries. Women and Politics around the World divides its coverage into two volumes. The first looks at such crucial issues facing women today as health policy, civil rights, and education, comparing conditions around the world. The second volume profiles 22 different countries, representing a broad range of governments, economies, and cultures. Each profile looks at the history and current state of women's political and economic participation in a particular country, and includes an in-depth look at a representative policy. The result is a resource unlike any other--one that gives students, researchers, and other interested readers a fresh new way of investigating a truly global issue.
