Women in the legislatures and executives of the world : knocking at the highest glass ceiling
- 1999
Reports on the results of a survey of the governments of the world as they were constituted in 1998. Seeks to map the number of women in legislative lower houses in 180 nation-states and related territories with autonomous governments; to identify and categorize women in the executives of these 180 cases by type of ministerial portfolio; and, to test the leading hypotheses, which speculate about the factors hindering or facilitating women's access to political representation.
