Anti-abortion Policymaking and Women’s Representation
To what extent and under what conditions do women in elective office lead the way on conservative women’s interests? The few existing studies find that, contrary to most research on women’s descriptive and substantive representation, legislative activity on conservative women’s issues in the United States is driven primarily by Republican men. This article takes a new look at the heart of conservative policymaking by analyzing the sponsorship of …
Legislating at the Intersections: Race, Gender, and Representation
Record numbers of women, and in particular women of color, are gaining elective office across the country. This article explores how their presence in legislative bodies might make a difference in policy agendas and legislative advocacy, especially at the intersections of race and gender. Leveraging original datasets of Democratic lawmakers and the bills they sponsor in fifteen U.S. state houses in 1997 and 2005, we examine multiple forms of race…

Race Relations, Black Elites, and Immigration Politics: Conflict, Commonalities, and Context
This paper investigates the question of whether and how race and race relations affect state legislators’ support for restrictive immigration policy. Focusing on the nine new immigration destinations in the US Southeast, we compare the roll call votes cast by African American and White Democratic state legislators on 196 restrictive immigration measures proposed between 2005 and 2012. Overall, the majority of Black Democratic legislators support …
Welfare Policymaking and Intersections of Race, Ethnicity, and Gender in U.S. State Legislatures
Welfare policy in the American states has been shaped profoundly by race, ethnicity, and representation. Does gender matter as well? Focusing on state welfare reform in the mid‐1990s, we test hypotheses derived from two alternative approaches to incorporating gender into the study of representation and welfare policymaking. An additive approach, which assumes gender and race/ethnicity are distinct and independent, suggests that female state legis…
The Political Determinants of Women’s Descriptive Representation in Cities
Why is the descriptive (or numerical) representation of women in policy-making positions higher in some cities than in others? Despite a strong body of work on the descriptive representation of women in state government, research on the presence of women in municipal government is limited in empirical scope and theoretical development. This study is different. First, the authors employ an original data set of 239 cities with populations of 100,00…
An Endogenous Approach to Women's Interests: When Interests Are Interesting in and of Themselves
As Sapiro (1981) pointed out many years ago, recognizing that women's interests are interesting is the vital first step in establishing the significance of women's political representation (or the lack thereof)—both in the “real” world and in the scholarly world. Indeed, the assumption that women's interests exist, that women have political interests that can be defined and measured, is central to much of the subsequent research and discussion of…
The Impact of Descriptive Representation on Women’s Political Engagement: Does Party Matter
Recent research raises doubts about whether the presence of women contesting or occupying prominent public office enhances women’s political engagement. Taking into account both gender and party congruence between politicians and constituents, the authors find that it is primarily female candidates of the same party who enhance women’s interest in politics. The stronger impact of party-congruent (over party-incongruent) female candidates can be a…
Legislative Women: Getting Elected, Getting Ahead
This wide-ranging study grapples with the increasingly complex array of opportunities and challenges that face women today as both legislative candidates and elected officials. Offering cutting-edge, original research, Legislative Women expands our knowledge on an array of critical topics. The contributors address everything from campaign finance to the significance of race and ethnicity, from media relations to how women advance within the ranks…
Agenda Setting and African American Women in State Legislatures
Political scientists have, in recent years, uncovered substantial evidence that political representation in the United States is influenced by gender and race, yet generally examine the effects of gender entirely separate from the effects of race. In this article, we explore the agenda-setting behavior of African American female state legislators. We find that African American women do respond to both women's interests and black interests. We als…
Women in State Legislatures and State Legislative Research: Beyond Sameness and Difference
The literature on women in state legislatures has grown dramatically over the last few decades, examining in detail their personal characteristics, behavior, and the impact they have had on state legislatures. Highlighted throughout this body of work are the many ways in which these female officials differ from their male colleagues. While it may once have been necessary to identify and categorize women legislators, we now need to broaden our res…

Exploring the Determinants of Feminist Consciousness in the United States
Previous research on the determinants of gender-related group consciousness has focused either exclusively or primarily upon structural or demographic determinants at the expense of attitudinal or ideological predispositions. This study questions the theoretical assumption upon which the extant literature is based, that group consciousness is a product of personal experience. Using data from the 1992 American National Election Study, we construct…
Exploring the determinants of feminist consciousness in the United States
Conflict and Cooperation: Legislative Strategies and Concepts of Power among Female and Male State Legislators
This study of the behavior of women and men in public office focuses on the more procedural aspects of legislative life, on the policy process rather than policy inputs and outputs. At issue is whether female officeholders are changing the legislative process by employing alternative methods for obtaining their policy goals. Using data collected in 1990 from in-depth interviews with Arizona and California state legislators, I compare female and m…

American Identity and the Politics of Ethnic Change
This article explores the way subjective conceptions of national identity influence the mass public's reactions to the changing ethnic composition of American society. Using the symbolic politics model of opinion formation to analyze survey data collected in early 1988, the article demonstrates that normative beliefs about Americanism strongly influence general attitudes toward cultural minorities and, when the appropriate symbolic cues are prese…
