Abstract
The idea of symbolic representation focuses on the emotions and responses that representatives invoke in constituents (Pitkin 1967). One of the key questions driving the study of women ’ s symbolic representation is how constituents, and particularly women, react to seeing women present in politics. In their book Seeing Women, Strengthening Democracy: How Women in Politics Foster Connected Citizens , Magda Hinojosa and Miki Caul Kittilson explore whether a jump in the presence of women in politics leads to greater political connectedness among women, measured in terms of their levels of political support and political engagement.
