Focusing on Uganda's unique affirmative action for women, the study explores the impact of policies initiated in the late 1980s by President Yoweri Museveni to enhance gender equity. Through in-depth interviews with parliamentarians and community members, Sylvia Tamale analyzes how women have navigated Uganda's patriarchal landscape to empower themselves politically. The book also discusses the implications of top-down affirmative action versus grassroots movements, offering insights that resonate with broader challenges in democracy and development across Africa and beyond.
