What Women Represent - Erica Rayment - Bog

What Women Represent, the first large-scale analysis of the substantive representation of women in Canadian politics, adds depth to our understanding of issues of gender in parliamentary institutions. Using cutting-edge methodologies, Erica Rayment examines which members of parliament represent women and what issues they address, revealing that women MPs, regardless of party, are more likely to act for women and play a critical role when the rights of women are at stake.
