Síntesis:
Highlights the different ways in which sexism manifests in politics. Examines the overt and subtle ways women are marginalized, stereotyped, or discriminated against due to gender, and the deeply entrenched societal gender norms that still persist. Each chapter provides discussion questions, and sidebars appear throughout the book offering small anecdotes. Includes a section at the end about how things are improving and the individuals and groups pushing for change.
