| Abstract | "In this book, we ask whether women's political influence is changing politics between nations. While it is too soon to characterize the full extent, and impossible to know for sure, we show that the historical facts are strikingly consistent with a suffragist peace : women's inclusion in democratic electorates has been a primary cause of peace in the modern era. The 20th century witnessed some of the most radical technological, economic and political changes in history - the spread of nuclear weapons, capitalism and democracy, among others. But current accounts have overlooked one of the most dramatic transformations of the 20th century as a potential source of peace: the massive redistribution of political power as millions of women around the world entered the political realm"-- Provided by publisher. |
