Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Reveals why the US differs from comparable democracies that routinely elect far more women to their national governing bodies and chief executive positions. Explaining that equal rights alone do not ensure equal access to political office, this title shows that electoral gender parity also requires public policies that represent maternal traits.
MoreLong description:
American women attain more professional success than most of their counterparts around the world, but - Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin not withstanding - they lag surprisingly far behind in the national political arena. Women held only 15 per cent of U.S. congressional seats in 2006, a proportion that ranks America behind eighty-two other countries in terms of females elected to legislative office. A compelling exploration of this deficiency, The Motherless State" reveals why the United States differs from comparable democracies that routinely elect far more women to their national governing bodies and chief executive positions. Explaining that equal rights alone do not ensure equal access to political office Eileen McDonagh shows that electoral gender parity also requires public policies that represent maternal traits. Most other democracies she demonstrates view women as more suited to govern because their governments have taken on maternal roles through social welfare provisions gender quotas or the continuance of symbolic hereditary monarchies.; The United States has not adopted such policies and until it does McDonagh insightfully warns American women run for office with a troubling disadvantage."
