Beskrivning
Women’s Pathways to Power: Cracking the Glass Ceiling provides an interdisciplinary study of the lingering impediments obstructing women’s access to power to attain democratic equality, comprising the work of eminent women scholars from diverse fields and regions.This book addresses women's inequality within a world shaped by men, while outlining the significant strides in gender equity and presents clear pathways toward achieving equality—highlighting the progress women have made across diverse settings from the Asia Pacific to the Global South—offering bold solutions to shatter the glass ceiling. In documenting both the challenges and achievements in the journey toward women's empowerment, the book makes a significant contribution to the story of women and power in the 21st century. In an era where women have made remarkable strides in education, employment, and politics in democracies, the pervasive gender gaps in key power spheres persist—in politics and leadership, the workplace, and within the home.This book will appeal not only to scholars and students in disciplines such as politics, sociology, and gender studies, but also to legislators, political leaders, and policymakers looking to understand what is possible and how. It speaks to women, especially women who dare to challenge accepted democratic and societal norms.

"This important interdisciplinary book on women and power skilfully brings together analysis of the public worlds of politics and work with consideration of familial caring commitments to demonstrate what has stalled, where there is progress, and whose responsibility it is to ensure there is equity for future generations of women."Professor Ariadne Vromen, Head, Division of Political & International Studies, School of Social and Political Sciences, University of Glasgow"Despite decades of targeted feminist policy, gender inequality remains pervasive and pernicious around the world. Taking an innovative approach that speaks to policy makers as well as scholars, this excellent and timely collection considers diverse women’s lived experiences and contributions to work, home, and public life, to identify new solutions."Dr Sonia Palmieri, Associate Professor, Department of Pacific Affairs, Australian National University
