Book Description

Women and Politics in a Global World, Third Edition, is the only text that offers a cross-national and comparative examination of the impact of women on politics--and the impact of politics on women. Sarah L. Henderson and Alana S. Jeydel carefully consider women's participation in institutionalized politics, social protest, and nationalist, fundamentalist, and revolutionary movements.

To help make the material more accessible to students, the authors unify their discussions around four core areas:

* The assurance of women's safety and autonomy

* Reproductive rights and health care for mothers and children

* Equal access to employment and public resources

* Women's access to political institutions and positions of authority

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Relevant, detailed, and inclusive of women's perspectives and issues from a global vantage point. Both its breadth and depth render this text useful for upper-level undergraduate courses, allowing students to sufficiently explore the complexity of many issues facing women while simultaneously covering an extraordinary breadth of material."--Alisa Von Hagel, Northern Illinois University and Benedictine University

"One of the most current, polished, and comprehensive textbooks that shines a spotlight on women's role and participation in politics."--Kristen Abatsis McHenry, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth

"A sweeping and nuanced description of the many political and policy dimensions of women's lives in the world."--Karen M. Kedrowski, Winthrop University

"The case studies discussed in several chapters are a great way to humanize the issues and show the breadth of variation on the policies profiled."--Jody Neathery-Castro, University of Nebraska Omaha
