Description

A WATERSTONES BEST POLITICS BOOK OF 2024 This is an exceptional moment for democracy. In the year of elections, read Margaret Atwood, Mary Beard, Lea Ypi, Elif Shafak and more on what democracy means - and why it matters. In 2024, nearly half the world will take part in a national election, with billions heading to the polls. It's a thrilling, unprecedented opportunity for change - yet democracy is also under threat. Women are at the forefront of the fight for democratic rights, as well as being the most vulnerable when those rights disappear. Here, eleven extraordinary women - leaders, philosophers, historians, writers and activists - explore democracy's power to uplift our societies. Between its ancient origins and its modern challenges, they share a vision for a better future - one we can build together.

Media Reviews

A passionate and persuasive case for the ideals of democracy -- Waterstones 'Best Politics Books of the Year' 2024
2024 is a year of elections. But will it be remembered as a year of democracy? That is in the balance. Democracy cannot be limited to a campaign, a vote, a victory speech. It is a process - or, to be more precise, a series of processes - that go to the heart of what a society really is. It depends on our shared understandings and on our commitment to making it work -- Juliet Riddell * Financial Times *
Democracy features reflections from 11 women, including Margaret Atwood, Erica Benner and Lea Ypi, on the threats facing democracy in 2024, the "year of elections" -- 'Best summer books of 2024' * Financial Times *
