Prof. Pippa Norris - Gender Equality in Elected Office: Beyond Quotas

The disproportionate lack of women in elected office is the subject of the inaugural (2011) Chrystal Macmillan Lecture.
The talk was delivered by Professor Pippa Norris, the McGuire Lecturer in Comparative Politics at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government, and winner of this year's Johan Skytte Prize, the most prestigious prize within political science.
Macmillan was the first ever woman to graduate from the University of Edinburgh in science, in 1896.
She went on to become a lawyer, and in 1908 made history again when she became the first woman to plead before the House of Lords, presenting her case that female university graduates should be given the right to vote.
Between 1913 and 1920 Macmillan was secretary of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance between 1913 and 1920 and helped organise the International Congress of Women in The Hague in 1915. She was called to the English Bar in 1924, one of the first group of women admitted.
Recorded Monday 21 November 2011.
