Editorial Note
The Women's Reservation Bill has passed. The harder question begins now. A book about what representation actually means.
§ Synopsis
Inside the book.
India has legislated 33% women's representation in Parliament. The Half of the Nation Speaks is the first full-length reckoning with what that legislation will — and won't — do. Combining constitutional history, delimitation modelling, and profiles of the women already reshaping Indian politics, this book asks what it takes to move from seats to power.
