The Gender of Governance
Despite the fact
that more women hold public office than ever before, women are widely
underrepresented in politics today. For this discussion, read chapter 13

which countries have the largest percentage of women in their national
governments. Next, address the following:
·
After looking at the international rankings of women in national
governments, how would you describe it? What surprises you about the
international rankings? How does the United States compare to other
countries?
·
Describe the difference between symbolic and substantive
representation.
·
Suggest (and describe in detail) at least one solution to increase the
number of women serving in the United States Congress.
Your initial post should be
at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required
