Gender and Representation in Latin America Format: Paperback

Gender and Representation in Latin America makes, for the first time, a comprehensive comparison of gender and representation across the region and at five different levels: the presidency, cabinets, national legislatures, political parties, and subnational governments. Drawing on the expertise of scholars of women, gender, and political institutions, this book is the most comprehensive analysis of women's representation in Latin America to date, and an important resource for research on women's representation worldwide.

Leslie A. Schwindt-Bayer is Professor of Political Science at Rice University. She is author of Political Power and Women's Representation in Latin America and co-author of The Gendered Effects of Electoral Institutions.
