Summary:

As one of the first studies of its kind, this book synthesises competing explanations of women's rights and rigorously tests the implications of cultural, international norms-building and core rights explanations across nationality, political, reproductive, and property rights. The results show that conventional wisdoms are often overstated and incomplete, such that far less is actually known about how, where, and why women's rights improve.
