Brulé’s Women, Power, and Property Wins APSA Luebbert Prize

Rachel Brulé, Assistant Professor of Global Development Policy at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, has been awarded the American Political Science Association’s (APSA) Luebbert Prize for the best book in comparative politics for her book Women, Power, and Property: The Paradox of Gender Equality Laws in India.

In an announcement on Twitter, Dawn Langan Teele, chair of APSA’s Lubbert best book in comparative politics committee, describes Brulé’s book as “packed with insight not just about gender but also about power. She shows how seemingly token institutional reform – gender reservations – can have profound knock on effects on the broader culture and distribution of power, an substantive policies.”
