Through a comparison of Russia and Iceland, the book shows how this revised form of male dominance came about, how it constrains feminisms, and how activists are beginning to fight back. It argues that while feminist movements have made it harder for most countries to maintain formal rules discriminating against women, economic liberalization strengthened male-dominated elites in informal institutions. These elites offer women prominent roles as policymakers and in non-governmental organizations, but then box them in with little room to represent women's interests. Activists' attempts to shame countries for ignoring problems such as violence against women result in new laws, but, lacking the necessary funding and enforcement, violence and inequality intensify. Explaining this paradox is the principal focus for social scientists, policymakers, and activists concerned with gender equality, women's social inclusion, and human rights."--$$cProvided by publisher. 000823613 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000823613 650_0 $$aWomen$$xPolitical activity$$zRussia (Federation) 000823613 650_0 $$aWomen$$xPolitical activity$$zIceland. 000823613 650_0 $$aRepresentative government and representation$$zRussia (Federation) 000823613 650_0 $$aRepresentative government and representation$$zIceland. 000823613 650_0 $$aFeminism$$xPolitical aspects. 000823613 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aJohnson, Janet Elise.$$tGender of informal politics.$$dCham, Switzerland : Palgrave Macmillan, [2018]$$z9783319602783$$w(DLC) 2017946074$$w(OCoLC)987323667 000823613 830_0 $$aGender and politics (Palgrave Macmillan (Firm)) 000823613 852__ $$bebk 000823613 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-60279-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000823613 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:823613$$pGLOBAL_SET 000823613 980__ $$aEBOOK 000823613 980__ $$aBIB 000823613 982__ $$aEbook 000823613 983__ $$aOnline 000823613 994__ $$a92$$bISE
