Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Winner of the Luebbert Best Book Award, Comparative Politics Section of the American Political Science Association"
"The book presents a compelling strategic explanation for the recognition of women’s voting rights. However, perhaps the most interesting aspect of this work is that it analyses the development of women’s enfranchisement in the general framework of the democratization process. The book helps to fill that gap and is a significant contribution toward a holistic understanding of the emergence and consolidation of democratic regimes."---Arantxa Elizondo, Democratization
"This book is well worth reading and will probably disrupt the literature on democratisation and make its way onto reading lists in a variety of fields that deal with the enfranchisement of women and electoral reform. It is a very worthy book, deserving of high praise for clarity and common sense."---Nicoletta F. Gullace, History: Journal of the Historical Association
