Description

Even though in most nations women are at least almost half of the population, in very few countries do they occupy a similar space in the formal institutions of political power.

They are said to lack a key element for a successful career in public life: time.

From this perspective, no one is worse off than women who are mothers.

From another perspective, however, motherhood is thought to help politicize women, as this life-changing experience makes them aware of the limitations of some specific public policies (such as child-care, parental leave, gendered labor practices etc.) as well as more conscious of the centrality of more encompassing public policies, such as education, health care, and social assistance.

This book explores the challenges, obstacles, opportunities and experiences of mothers who take part in political and/or public life.
