Women in Politics by Joni Lovenduski
The last decade has seen significant breakthroughs for women in British politics. Many of the old organizational certainties have gradually been abandoned. This book traces the problems, and the progress, experienced by women as they have actively sought political power. Women in politics now have the potential to make more than just a symbolic difference. This book is intended for academics, students concerned with British politics and government, and those concerned with women's studies; political researchers and commentators; the informed general reader in politics, current affairs, and women's studies.Pippa Norris is the Director of the United Nations Development Programme's Democratic Governance group in New York, as well as the Maguire Lecturer in Comparative Politics at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government. The Kennedy School of Government is a public policy school in Boston. Sacred and Secular: Politics and Religion in the World (with Ronald Inglehart, 2004), Electoral Engineering: Voting Rules and Political Behavior (with Ronald Inglehart, 2004), and Drive Democratization: What Works (with Ronald Inglehart, 2006) are recent publications. Norris, a political scientist, has consulted for a number of international organizations, including the United Nations, UNESCO, the Council of Europe, International IDEA, the National Endowment for Democracy, and the United Kingdom Election Commission.
