Book Synopsis Gender, Institutions, and Change in Bachelet’s Chile by : G. Waylen
Book excerpt: Michele Bachelet, Chile's first female president, was elected with an explicit gender agenda in 2006 and then reelected in 2013. This volume focuses on Bachelet's efforts to introduce progressive measures and the constraints that she has faced in a context where both formal and informal political institutions can act as barriers to change.
