Promotional Information

Contrary to his public claims that 'W stands for Women,' George W Bush's behaviour in office reveals a strongly patriarchal bent. This book analyzes the impacts on women of the Bush presidency in the United States and internationally, including a chapter on the negative effects of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
