The Substantive Representation of Women
Sun, September 13, 12:00 to 1:30pm MDT (12:00 to 1:30pm MDT), TBASession Submission Type: Created Panel
Session Description
Does the increased presence of women in government and in the workforce matter for representing women’s substantive interests? These papers explore this question by examining Nevada (where the legislature is majority women), the US Congress (where the first Native American women were elected in 2019 and where women tend to enact policy through unorthodox means), and Japan (where women’s presence in the workforce has increased).
