Gender and the Liberal Democrats

Mehr zum Buch

The book offers an in-depth examination of women's representation within the Liberal Democrats, highlighting the institutional factors that contribute to the party's low number of female MPs. It analyzes how the party's ideology, culture, and organization are influenced by a masculine bias, raising critical questions about the continued dominance of white, middle-aged, male MPs in Westminster. Through extensive research, it provides a unique gendered perspective on the challenges faced by women in UK politics, particularly within this third party.
