Summary: | "In The Inclusion Calculation, Melody E. Valdini examines women's representation in politics and offers insights into men's strategies for using women to advance their own political ambitions. While it is certainly valuable to encourage women to run for office, it is equally important to understand the motivations of male power-holders. To that end, this book examines how men strategically feminize their political parties or government to retain control, demonstrating that a woman's selection as a candidate often depends on a man's perception of her value"-- |
