Description
Drude Dahlerup examines how democracy has failed women and what can be done to tackle it in this powerful essay. Political institutions are seen as key gatekeepers to elected positions, but they need to be more inclusive.
The author argues that reforming these institutions and implementing gender quotas could lead to improved gender equality and greater democratization.
