Book excerpt: The ability of a small elite of highly educated, upper-class Asian women to obtain the highest political positions in their country is unmatched elsewhere in the world and deserves study.

Aiming to fill the gap is this timely and important study of the various obstacles and opportunities for women's political participation and representation in Asia.
