‘The Handbook of Feminist Governance, edited by Sawer, Banaszak, True, and Kantola is an impressive initiative [...] the book’s organization supports the stated ambition to be accessible to both researchers and practitioners. This is the kind of book you put in the hands of someone—a student, a street bureaucrat, an employee of an international organization—who wants a quick introduction to some aspect of feminist governance.’
