Summary, in English

This timely book addresses the political under-representation of women and over-representation of men, both in the UK and internationally. It does so by bringing together perspectives from political science and sociolinguistics to analyse the relationship between gender and language in a variety of political spheres. Specifically, it investigates how both women and men use language and interact across several parliaments, as well as the ways in which women in politics are silenced, and their strategies of resistance.
