Women and Democracy by Jane S. Jaquette, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Women and Democracy offers a unique look at the political experiences of women in Latin America and Eastern- and Central Europe. These regions have moved from authoritarian to democratic regimes. At first glance, the roles of these women appear to be similar. But the differences are notable. Women are more politicized in their efforts to obtain rights, recognition, and equity in Latin America. Conversely, women of former communist societies seek more traditional female roles and largely avoid the public arena. | Women and Democracy by Jane S. Jaquette, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
