Drawing upon original surveys conducted in 1981 and 2008 by the Center for American
Women and Politics (CAWP) of women state legislators across all fifty states, and
follow-up interviews after the 2008 survey, the authors find that gender differences
in pathways to the legislatures, first evident in 1981, have been surprisingly persistent
over time. They find that, while the ambition framework better explains men's decisions
to run for office, a relationally embedded model of candidate emergence better captures
women's decision-making, with women's decisions more often influenced by the encouragement
and support of parties, organizations, and family members. By rethinking the nature
of women's representation, this study calls for a reorientation of academic research
on women's election to office and provides insight into new strategies for political
practitioners concerned about women's political equality
