Women in power : world leaders since 1960

"How can the United States fancy itself the bastion of women's liberation, yet have only 15 percent representation of women in power - and no female president to date? That is only one of the issues explored in this fascinating and timely book." "Women in Power profiles 22 women who have been world leaders since 1960, presenting their biographies within regional analyses that reveal not only the personal circumstances each woman faced in her quest for power but also the political milieu from which she emerged."--Jacket
