Global Gender Issues: Dilemmas in World Politics
V. Spike Peterson and Anne Sisson Runyan, Westview Press, 1993

I like this analysis of why the inequalities between women and men within the "world politics" of power, security, economy, and ecology exist. Charts, cartoons and easy to read text offer a gendered view of politics, powerful women - and their fate - violence, labor, ecology, peace and women's movements, and ways to create a political world more favorable to women.
