Product Information
CHOICE OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC TITLE 2015 Do women national leaders represent a breakthrough for the women's movement, or is women's leadership weaker than the numbers imply? This unique book, written by an experienced politician and academic, is the first to provide a comprehensive overview of how and why women in 53 countries rose to the top in the years since World War II. Packed with fascinating case studies detailing the rise to power of all 73 female presidents and prime ministers from around the world, from 1960 (when the first was elected) to 2010, the motives, achievements and life stories of the female top leaders, including findings from interviews carried out by the author, provide a nuanced picture of women in power. The book will have wide international appeal to students, academics, government officials, women's rights activists and political activists, as well as anyone interested in international affairs, politics, social issues, gender and equality.

Reviews
Women of Power is a valuable resource to those who seek an insight into the struggle women have faced in becoming leaders in their own right. Alongside the life histories of the women in question, Skard offers detailed analyses of political developments and gives brief historical overviews of each region at the beginning of each chapter. . . . A highly informative, knowledgeable, and valuable contribution to the fields of gender studies and political history., Women of Power is a valuable resource to those who seek an insight in to the struggle women have faced in becoming leaders in their own right. Alongside the life histories of the women in question, Skard offers detailed analyses of political developments and gives brief historical overviews of each region at the beginning of each chapter. . . . A highly informative, knowledgeable, and valuable contribution to the fields of gender studies and political history., An excellent academic source for both students of gender studies and international relations. It is also an interesting read for those either considering or analyzing careers of female politicians., Skard's Women of Power insightfully considers some fifty countries and seventy women leaders since 1960. The earliest ones were mostly related to male leaders (Isabel Perón, Indira Gandhi). Later, feminist institutional backing became key: In 1986, Norway's prime minister Gro Harlem Brutland's party demanded that all decision-making bodies include forty percent women. And South and Central America sure beat North America: Despite a culture of machismo, women leaders (in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Nicaragua) have been elected partly due to the structural political supports launched by the International Women's Year World Conference held in Mexico City in 1975. I'll end by noting that Skard says the glass-ceiling metaphor is wrong. It's too clear, too straightforward. The better metaphor for women becoming world leaders, and I read this with a shock of recognition, is a labyrinth., Let's hope that all the women world leaders of the next 50 years cannot be contained within one volume!, The essential reference on women in power, covering a half-century of women at the political helm of democracies as both presidents and prime ministers. A self-described 'third-generation feminist,' Skard brings solid credentials to this mammoth project: she is or has been a scholar, a member of the Norwegian Parliament, UNESCO director for the status of women, and a minister in Norway's cabinet. Skard asks excellent analytic questions about why and how women ascended to top leadership positions and what effect their leadership has on societies. . . . This book belongs in the reference section of all research libraries. Highly recommended., "This fascinating book on Women of Power is the first comprehensive overview of how and why women made it to the top of political leadership in the years after World War II till 2010." Norwegian Association for Women's Rights, "From the outset, it is clear that this book, in its study of the transformative potential of women leaders, has an intrinsic power to transform." The Tribune, When, where, and how do women become prime ministers or presidents? Women of Power is a tour de force, providing new insight into regional patterns of global change., "Women of Power is a valuable resource to those who seek an insight into the struggle women have faced in becoming leaders in their own right." LSE Review of Books, A compelling major work on powerful women in international politics in our time. . . . Recommended as a comprehensive and exciting work in global women's studies during the last fifty years., "The empirical data in Power of Women inspire further research on women, politics and power: To what extent do women top leaders represent a new type of politician, new policies and new methods of exerting political power? With the slow increase in the number of female prime ministers and presidents (50/50 in 200 years) it will continue to be of interest to study how women rise to the top and which factors play a role, for a long time to come ... 'Power of Women' will remain a great work within the study of female political leadership and politics." translation from review in Internasjonal Politikk, This fascinating book on women of power is the first comprehensive overview of how and why women made it to the top of political leadership in the years after World War II until 2010., Skard's Women of Power insightfully considers some fifty countries and seventy women leaders since 1960. The earliest ones were mostly related to male leaders (Isabel Pern, Indira Gandhi). Later, feminist institutional backing became key: In 1986, Norway's prime minister Gro Harlem Brutland's party demanded that all decision-making bodies include forty percent women. And South and Central America sure beat North America: Despite a culture of machismo, women leaders (in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Nicaragua) have been elected partly due to the structural political supports launched by the International Women's Year World Conference held in Mexico City in 1975. I'll end by noting that Skard says the glass-ceiling metaphor is wrong. It's too clear, too straightforward. The better metaphor for women becoming world leaders, and I read this with a shock of recognition, is a labyrinth., Skard takes on an enormously ambitious project in her recent book. She seeks out to examine the achievements and life stories of nearly the universe of the world's female political leaders from the 1960s up to the current era. Organized both chronologically and geographically, Skard includes over 70 leaders in 50 countries, and uncovers a variety of paths to power, regional patterns and variation, and fascinating individual stories., From the outset, it is clear that this book, in its study of the transformative potential of women leaders, has an intrinsic power to transform., Offers a unique overview of the first half-century in history when women in positions of leadership were no longer the exception.
