Dynasties and Female Political Leaders in Asia is written by Claudia Derichs and published by LIT Verlag Münster. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3643903200 (ISBN 10) and 9783643903204 (ISBN 13).

This book is the first comprehensive academic effort to examine the phenomenon of top female political leaders in Asia. It portrays prime ministers, presidents, and opposition leaders, but it is not a conventional biographical volume. Rather, it analyzes female politicians by means of case studies that are based on a common theoretical framework. The case studies were conducted over three years of field research, which included interviews with the female leaders themselves and members of their inner circle. Each chapter explores the similarities, but also points to the distinctiveness of each female leader, arising from political and social systems, cultural and religious conditions, and economic parameters.
