"This timely and important collection brings together Mexico's leading scholars and activists working on gender and politics. Vidal-Correa's excellent and well-edited volume is required reading for everyone interested in LatinAmerican politics."

- Jennifer M. Piscopo, Associate Professor, Occidental College, Los Angeles, US

The field of gender and politics has continuously grown, becoming more interdisciplinary and engaging with issues, context and people from all around the world. Because of this, new emerging approaches and studies challenge embedded notions, ideas and preconceptions of how the world is meant to be studied and understood. This is particularly true for studies on women and their engagement in political affairs. How should institutions conceptualize women in order to advance rules and mechanisms that favor women? What roles do representatives have on the making of gender equality? When women are legislating, which are the consequences of the approved legislation?
