Headline Series, No. 307

McGlen and Sarkees draw on their research and interviews with women and men in senior policymaking positions to analyze the causes underlying the lack of female representation in the institutions shaping U.S. foreign policy.

McGlen and Sarkees attribute the past exclusion of women from the foreign policy arena to various factors, including traditional gender stereotypes, cultural norms, and overtly discriminatory practices of foreign policy institutions. The authors explore the history of women's role in foreign affairs and the looming obstacles they continue to face.

The Headline Series, published continuously since 1935, provides readers with concise, timely analysis of a specific region or issue in world affairs. These informative pocket-sized books are written by foreign affairs journalists, academics and other experts.
