The article delves into three dimensions of women’s political representation in the House of Representatives. Firstly, it examines how the interplay of institutions and contextual factors influences electoral opportunities, leveraging electoral data dating back to 1983. Next, through an analysis of candidate lists, it explores the role of political parties in nominating women. Secondly, it scrutinizes substantive aspects of representation, specifically legislators’ preferences concerning abortion legalization, based on individual interviews. Thirdly, it investigates symbolic aspects of representation, particularly voters’ attitudes towards inclusion, via an original survey with a nationally representative sample. These findings underscore the influence of party alignments on women’s representation.
