This book explains why women's rights are improving more rapidly in post-conflict countries in Africa than elsewhere on the continent.

Recenzje

'Tripp has performed a great service in pulling together a wide range of research and analysis on women and political power. In the end, she has brought us a thoughtful assessment of an issue that should be at the top of every nation's agenda - what can be done to improve the role and influence of women in politics, not only in Africa, but around the world.' Kathleen Sheldon, African Studies Review
