So happy to see this out! We have data on 5,000+ voters and 26,000 candidates exploring the effects of sexism across 4 countries 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇧🇦🇺 TLDR: gendered patterns of political competition strongly shape success rates of women candidates.

My book "Resistance to Gender Quotas in Latin America" is out, and it's *open access*! The book explores the puzzle of gender quotas—a policy to increase women's representation, adopted when men, who may be affected by these policies, are the majority of legislators. academic.oup.com/book/59749
