This book addresses women's inequality within a world shaped by men, whilst outlining the significant strides in gender equity and presents clear pathways toward achieving equality — highlighting the progress women have made across diverse settings from the Asia Pacific to the Global South — offering bold solutions to shatter the glass ceiling. In documenting both the challenges and achievements in the journey toward women's empowerment, the book makes a significant contribution to the story of women and power in the 21st century. In an era where women have made remarkable strides in education, employment, and politics in democracies, the pervasive gender gaps in key power spheres persist – in politics and leadership, the workplace, and within the home.
This book will appeal to scholars and students in disciplines such as politics, sociology, and gender studies, but also to legislators, political leaders, and policy makers looking to understand what is possible and how. It speaks to women, especially women who dare to challenge accepted democratic and societal norms.
