Women have made some progress toward equal political representation in the United States and around the world, but true equality may be a long way away. Though women represent more than half of the world's population, they account for only 15 percent of its elected officials, and their particular concerns often go unaddressed in the political arena.<p> <em>Women and Politics around the World</em> divides its coverage into two volumes. The first looks at such crucial issues facing women today as health policy, civil rights and education, comparing conditions around the world. The second volume profiles 22 different countries, representing a broad range of governments, economies and cultures. Each profile looks at the history and current state of women's political and economic participation in a particular country, and includes an in-depth look at a representative policy. The result is a resource unlike any other - one that gives students, researchers, and other interested readers a fresh new way of investigating a truly global issue.
