Feminizing Political Institutions considers representation from a new perspective by looking at how changes within the demographic composition of a political institution can change the way citizens think about and engage with politics. It argues that the recent gains made in women's representation across all levels of government has the potential to undo the "white-masculine" stereotypes long associated with political institutions.
