Abstract

ABSTRACT Representation of women in the field of legislative politics is remarkably small and the absence of women has wide-ranging ramifications. In Fall 2019, we surveyed 361 women that we identified as studying legislative politics within political science to understand why women’s representation in legislative studies is so low and what we can do about it. We found that many women study legislatures, but they do not always identify as scholars of legislative studies, often do not join the Legislative Studies Section, and tend to prioritize other journals over Legislative Studies Quarterly, the official journal of the section. In this article, we discuss several solutions to the problem of women’s underrepresentation in legislative studies, including the new Women in Legislative Studies initiative.

立法研究中的妇女:促进性别平等

妇女在立法政治领域的代表性非常少，妇女的缺席具有广泛的影响。2019年秋季，我们调查了361名在政治学领域学习立法政治的女性，以了解为什么女性在立法研究中的代表性如此之低，以及我们能做些什么。我们发现，许多女性研究立法机构，但她们并不总是认为自己是立法研究学者，往往不加入立法研究部，而且倾向于优先选择其他期刊，而不是该部门的官方期刊《立法研究季刊》。在本文中，我们讨论了一些解决立法研究中女性代表性不足问题的方法，包括新的“立法研究中的女性”倡议。
