About This Book
This book addresses how women experience or are denied citizenship from the perspective of a multi-disciplinary group of women academics and through the use of wide-ranging case studies. The case studies demonstrate both the diversity of women's lives and the commonalities of many of the problems they face. The book considers how politico-legal definitions of citizenship and the practices that these inform are often disengaged from women's lives or, indeed, are intended to envelop those lives in gender stereotypes. Each case-study considers how women challenge these normative assumptions and, through their own activities, create an empowered citizenship.
