What is known about women's participation as decision-makers in international affairs? Is it fair to assume, as many observers do, that female elites will mirror the relatively pacifist preferences of women in the general public as well as the claims of progressive feminist movements? By focusing on women's presence in senior national security positions in the American political executive, 'Women as Foreign Policy Leaders' offers among the first systematic responses to these questions. It examines four high-profile appointees in the United States since 1980: Jeane Kirkpatrick during the Reagan years, Madeleine Albright in the Clinton era, Condoleezza Rice during the George W. Bush presidencies, and Hillary Rodham Clinton in the first Obama mandate.

What difference does gender make to foreign diplomacy? What do we know about women's participation as decision-makers in international affairs? Women as Foreign Policy Leaders, among the first systematic studies in the field, demonstrates how four high-profile appointees in the United States staked out their presence on the global scene and provided a crucial antidote to the silencing of women's voices in global politics.
