Citizens of the World: U.S. Women and Global Government. (Philadelphia. University of Pennsylvania Press, 2022, 238 pp.)

Megan Threlkeld.
” The General Assembly is the main focus of such power as does reside in the U.N. – moral, imaginative, religious power. Not that the Assembly is, in itself, especially moral, imaginative or religious, but that the corresponding human qualities act and through it, in surprising and unpredictable ways.”
