Contents	Women in power in Uganda and South Africa / Anne Marie Goetz and Shireen Hassim -- Women's political effectiveness / Anne Marie Goetz -- Representation, participation and democratic effectiveness / Shireen Hassim -- Problem with patronage / Anne Marie Goetz -- Politics of engagement / Sheila Meintjes -- 'Lost clause' / Sheila Kawamara-Mishambi and Irene Ovonji-Odida -- Democratising local government / Likhapha Mbatha -- Gender equity and local democracy in contemporary Uganda / Josephine Ahikire.
Summary	Goetz and Hassim provide a significant contribution to theorizing about women and political parties in Africa, and they offer useful guidance to feminist activists by combining analytical analysis with clear case studies of what has worked and what has failed. They place their work within the current move in feminist scholarship from analyzing women's activism in democratic transitions to examining women's capacity to push a gender equity agenda once they are in office.
