Overview

In essays, profiles, and interviews, activists and women at the highest levels of national governments describe election campaigns, party politics, and work in parliamentary chambers; whether and how their agendas and political styles differ from men's; and how, unlike men, they must manage family responsibilities and accept public scrutiny of their personal lives.

Editorial Reviews

"A Rising Public Voice is an exciting volume by and about women in government—South Africa and the United States, Asia and Eastern Europe, and elsewhere—that offers an excellent analysis of where we've been, where we are, how far we've yet to go, and how we feel and think about politics. I highly recommend this book." —Congresswoman Maxine Waters, California

"An inspiration and a guide to young women all over the world who hope to continue opening the corridors of political power to daughters, sisters, and mothers now and in the future." —Senator Barbara Mikulski, Maryland

"No issues are more urgent for our planet's future than the issues explored with vision and depth in this splendid book. It is a provocative and important contribution to our ongoing struggle for respect, influence, and power. Every feminist, everyone concerned about women's rights, world politics, and the future, will want to read and ponder this book." —Blanche Weisen Cook, author of Eleanor Roosevelt, Volumes One & Two

From the Publisher

Brill's (Nobody's Business, Addison-Wesley, 1991) collection of interviews, essays, and political profiles shows the obstacles that 22 women around the world have overcome to attain an active role in government. Although each woman's struggle was unique and some cultures presented more challenges than others, problems such as balancing political careers with families and overcoming male-oriented systems and patriarchal societies are recurring themes. The women represented include renowned leaders such as Margaret Thatcher and Hanan Ashwari and new leaders in emerging democracies like South Africa and Chile. The writings are hopeful and give a sense of continuing accomplishment, as well as a clear sense of how much more there is to do. For academic and larger public library collections.Jill Ortner, SILS, SUNY at Buffalo
