Summary:
"Fifteen authors from ten countries describe efforts to secure women's right to vote and the related effects over the past century. Contributing authors brilliantly outline what has been accomplished and what tasks remain to close political gender gaps. They underscore the transformational leadership role women have played to achieve gains that all of us, women and men, enjoy today"-- Provided by publisher.
