When Claudia Sheinbaum was sworn in as Mexico's 66th president and its first female leader, political analysts focused their research on the potential impact of her presidency on the advancement of social transformation and the deepening of gender equality.

Featuring chapters from highly respected researchers, whose work has been critical to promoting gender parity in Mexico, Women as Constructors of Parity Democracy in Mexico chronicles the evolution of women's integration into Mexico's public sphere during the nation's democratic transition, scrutinizing the tangible impacts of women's political representation within the initial years of the parity model, while dissecting the political currents that either advanced or impeded the women's agenda. The book is divided into three parts and consists of nine chapters that follow a common framework, highlighting how women politicians and activists operate within the legislative and executive branchs to bring about change in the field of gender politics.

Women as Builders of Parity Democracy in Mexico will be of interest to researchers and postgraduates studying gender and politics in Mexico.
