The Almanac of Women and Minorities in World Politics is a reference book that provides political and biographical details on the achievements of women and minorities in the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of every nation (and most dependent territories) in the world. The "Executive" section on a particular country might include information on that country's first woman president, or its first minority prime minister, for example. It also includes information on the first female cabinet member, and first female ambassador. Likewise, the "Legislative" section provides details on the first women and minority members of the national parliament. And, the "Judicial" section might give data on the country's first women and minority judges. The book also features a number of shorter, politically-oriented biographical sketches that chronicle all the women--and certain minority individuals--who have influenced the political environment of their nation, either locally or internationally, both adversely and constructively, since 1900.

Since the publication of the first edition of this book, former U.S. Senator Carol Moseley Braun's campaign for the presidency in 2004 and the widespread discussion of a run in 2008 by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton have significantly raised the profile of women on the national political stage. At the same time, progress in electing women to the U.S. Congress and state legislatures has stalled. The essays in Women and Elective Office: Past, Present and Future, which feature research on women as political candidates and officeholders, address this paradox. Recruitment patterns, media portrayals, and voter reactions to women candidates are analyzed along with the impact of women in office relative to the challenges they face. The 2nd edition includes increased coverage of women on the congressional level, women officeholders of color, and analysis of women parliamentarians worldwide. In total, Women and Elective Office offers a comprehensive look at the experiences and influence of women politicians today, while considering women's prospects for political leadership in the twenty-first century.

Women's Political Discourse profiles women in the most highly visible political offices today, highlighting their communication strategies. Following an engaging overview of women's political discourse from the early twentieth century, the book features selected women governors, representatives, and senators of the past several decades, from Jeannette Rankin—the first woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives—to Hillary Rodham Clinton. The authors compare women's and men's political communication techniques and include helpful lists of the women governmental leaders of the twentieth and the twenty-first century. Exploring women's unique approaches to governing, Women's Political Discourse seeks to lay out innovative approaches to leadership.
