Sex, Gender and the Conservative Party: From Iron Lady to Kitten Heels

By Paul Webb, Sarah Childs, P. Webb

Book Overview

As leader of the Conservative party, David Cameron inherited a multi-faceted gender problem: only 17 women MPs; an unhappy women's organization; electorally uncompetitive policies 'for women'; and a party which was seemingly unattractive to women voters. This book is an account of the feminization of the party since 2005.
