This book investigates the extent to which the New Labour government in the UK (1997-2010) genuinely advanced policies and political structures that promoted gender equality.

The book is likely to be regarded as a significant academic contribution to the study of contemporary British politics and gender studies. Its focus on policy analysis and political strategy suggests a text aimed at students and scholars of political science and sociology. The examination of New Labour's record on gender equality positions it as a key resource for understanding the complexities of progressive governance and its outcomes.
