Activism and the Electoral Participation of Women
Can political activism foster electoral participation? We investigate this question by examining the role of the British suffragists in fostering women’s electoral participation. While scholars have shown that women politicians increase women’s participation in politics, less attention has been paid to the role of activists. We fill this gap by studying the 1913 Pilgrimage, a large-scale nationwide march in support of women’s parliamentary suffra…

How Gap Measures Determine Results
How scholars conceptualize and measure the gender gap in mobilization can have profound consequences for substantive conclusions. Scholars typically refer to a difference between women and men's turnout (difference-in-proportions measure) or a fraction of women voters among all voters (proportion measure). Using the case of proportional representation (PR) reform in Norway, I demonstrate that, in the context of low men's turnout, the proportion m…
Bringing in the New Votes
Under what conditions did newly enfranchised women turn out to vote at levels approaching men? This question is important because if women's turnout lagged behind men's, politicians' incentives to advocate for women's interests could remain weak even after suffrage. I argue that women's turnout approached parity with men's in localities with strong incentives to vote and to mobilize among the general population. This is because women faced barrie…
At the Intersection of Gender and Class
How were the most underprivileged women mobilized after suffrage? Newly enfranchised women faced a multitude of barriers to voting, and this was especially the case for working-class women. We theorize that working-class women were more likely to acquire civic attitudes and information through ties with neighbors of the same class than working-class men or privileged classes. Working-class women’s typical employment and domestic responsibilities …
The Electoral Impact of Newly Enfranchised Groups
How do newly enfranchised groups achieve representation of shared interests? I theorize that while suffrage expansion has the potential to sway electoral tides in favor of the newly enfranchised, such effects are conditional on the strength of a social movement that seeks to represent the group. A social movement defines the group’s shared interests and creates a mobilized pool of voters that can take electoral action to foster common goals. In t…
Stepping out of the shadow of the past
How do career attributes affect the survival of post-communist ministers? We theorise that career attributes determine “desirability” of ministers, and therefore the length of their tenure. While political career attributes provide superior expertise and incentives, bureaucratic career attributes fall short on both “desirability” markers. Utilizing a unique data set of individual ministers in four post-communist countries in the first two decades…
