Full Description
The conservative gender ideology espoused by the ruling elites in contemporary Iran and Turkey delegates women mostly to the domestic sphere, and prioritizes their roles as mothers and wives. Despite this conservatism, women in both countries have been demanding greater access to the political field, and have even had notable achievements in recent years. Placing women's rights activism at the centre of its analysis, this bookexplores how women in Iran and Turkey manoeuvre the institutional structures andideological barriers in their respective contexts to demand a seatat the political decision-making table. It argues that the recent increases in women'spolitical representation are best understood in terms of the strategic interactions thattake place between women's rights groups and political elites, both of which dependon the support of the electorate.Key Features- Provides an institutionalist analysis of women's political underrepresentation in Iran and Turkey through an examination of each country's electoral system, political party structure, government framework and state gender ideology - Based on over 140 in-depth interviews with past and present women politicians and candidates, party elites and women's rights activists in Iran and Turkey between 2009 and 2019-
