- Summary:
- "This groundbreaking book provides an account of how Traveller and other minoritized women understand, assess and experience local politics in Ireland. Through personal narratives and expert interviews, the book explores minoritised women's exclusion from traditional political spaces, their grassroots activism, and the challenges they face running for office. Drawing from a comparative analysis of minoritised women and politics from the USA, UK, and beyond, the book offers valuable lessons for fostering political inclusion. Its analysis is a vital contribution to global discourse on diversity, gender, and representation, making it essential for policymakers, scholars, and advocates for political equity"-- De Gruyter Brill
