Anna Tijsseling gaat in haar artikel in Historica uitgebreid in op de inhoud van de bundel en bespreekt per artikel de voors en tegens. Over de overkoepelende vraag of vrouwenactivisme automatisch leidt tot een verbetering van de democratie stelt ze: 'Niet per se. Het belangrijkste wat we uit deze bundel kunnen halen is vooral het omgekeerde: een democratie leidt niet per se tot een verbetering van de positie van vrouwen.' Anna Tijsseling in: Historica (2016) 3, p. 24-26.

9789087045852Beschrijving
Yearbook of Women's History/Jaarboek voor Vrouwengeschiedenis 35.
This Yearbook attends to various ways in which women were active and organized themselves in order to question sex and gender related issues in the political arena. Covering a diverse range of cultures and political situations the Yearbook discusses how women protested against perceived religious suppression; actively participated in local democratic political institutions whilst not really changing gender-roles; or discussed experienced discrepancies between socialism and feminism. How do women find their ways in democratic systems of governance? What do these systems offer them in terms of emancipation and involvement in political decision making affecting their lives?
