Women, Power, and Political Representation: Canadian and Comparative Perspectives

"Women, Power, and Political Representation brings together emerging and senior scholars who share new and cutting-edge insights into the varying and nuanced dynamics of gender, representation, and power. An excellent resource for students of electoral politics, this book is likely to become a staple for many."

Amanda Bittner, Professor of Political Science and Director of the Gender and Politics Lab, Memorial University of Newfoundland

"Women, Power, and Political Representation is a comprehensive account of the state of women's political presence in contemporary Canada. It showcases cutting-edge research regarding women's under-representation from diverse perspectives and locates the Canadian case in international context. The final four chapters set the direction for international research, drawing our attention to issues of backlash and intersectionality. It is a must-read for anyone concerned about women’s political under-representation and how to remedy it."

Rosie Campbell, Professor of Politics and Director of the Global Institute for Women’s Leadership, King’s College London

"Women, Power, and Political Representation offers a fresh and unique picture of women in politics, focusing on Canadian women and then extending out more broadly. The text features accessible, well-written, and clearly innovative contributions that would be useful to scholars and teachers across disciplines."

Mirya Holman, Associate Professor of Political Science, Tulane University

"Women, Power, and Political Representation approaches the very broad topic of ‘women in politics’ in a diverse and intersectional way. There is a lot of appetite for a volume like this, particularly from students who are first learning about the under-representation of women in politics."
