This handbook is a timely academic adaptation of information contained 
in the Global Report on the Status of Women in News Media, a study 
commissioned by the International Women's Media Foundation and published 
in 2011. The study was conducted by the book's editor, international 
feminist media scholar, Carolyn M. Byerly. The text draws together the 
most robust data from that study, presenting it in 29 chapters on 
individual nations and three additional chapters with historical 
background on women in journalism and a theoretical framework grounded 
in feminist political economy. The book is the most expansive effort to 
date to consider women's standing in the journalism profession across 
the world. The contributing authors, in most cases the original 
researchers for their respective nations in the Global Report study, 
seek to question the status of women in newsrooms, asking how far women 
have come and what their progress (or lack of progress) tells us about 
women's right to communicate.
