Sumario: | :"Working together across religious, ethnic, and class divisions, African women are helping to formulate legislation and foster democraties more inclusive of women's interests. Women in African Parliaments explores this phenomenon, examining the impact and experiences of African women as they seek increased representation in national legislatures. The authors' carefully constructed case studies allow cross-national comparisons of the range of strategies that African women have use to achieve greater involvement in national politics. A unique feature of the work is the voices of African women, who explain how they achieved or continue to fight for electroral success, how they learned to work with lifelong adversaries, and how they have begun to transform their parliaments." |
