This book examines all Latin American female presidents to date, and in doing so, answer three main questions. First, what conditions allowed for a broadening of routes for women presidents in these specific locations and at this particular point in time? Second, do female presidents use their powers to enhance women's representation? Third, does gender present a burden or blessing to women as they campaign for presidential office and as they exercise power?
