Title: Gender in Third World politics
First published: 1995
Description: This gendered analysis of Third World politics examines both "high politics" and political activity at the grassroots level, as well as the impact of state policy on differing groups of women. Waylen first discusses the major theoretical questions involved in the study of gender in Third World politics. She then discusses the topic in the context of colonialism, revolution, authoritarianism, and democratization, richly illustrating her discussion with a broad range of examples.

Engaging and original, the book is ideal for use in Third World politics, women and politics, and gender and development courses.
