These files contain all original data in an excel file and the necessary Stata .do files to build and analyze the data used in the paper. ABSTRACT: A longstanding puzzle in American political development is why Western states extended voting rights to women before states in the East. Building on theories of democratization and women's suffrage, I argue that politicians have incentives to seek out new voters in competitive political environments. A strong suffrage movement reinforces these incentives by providing information and infrastructure that parties can capitalize on in future elections. If politicians believe they can mobilize the latent female vote, then large movements and competitive political environments should produce franchise expansion. Using data on legislative decisions pertaining to suffrage in 45 states from 1893 to 1920, I show that political competition and movement strength are robust predictors of support for women's suffrage in state legislatures. In the West, fluid partisan politics and relatively strong mobilization produced early reform. Since states determine who voted for national, state, and local offices, these decisions mattered for advancing political equality

Replication Data for: The Political Geography of the Gender Gap
No full textThis paper leverages fine grained municipal level data from Sweden, including turnout figures separated by sex, to examine the political geography of the gender gap. Prominent arguments about the ``traditional'' gender gap claim that early on, women turned out at low rates and voted for conservative parties. Instead, I argue that when parties have clear geographic strongholds, gender gaps depend on population demographics and the mobilization of men and women in a given election. Using the computational method of bounds to estimate women's vote choice, I find that women in cities and large municipalities were much more supportive of the left than women in the countryside after suffrage. At the national level, high turnout among women in more populous municipalities drove the majority of women to support the left. These findings demonstrate that the partisan gender gap is not only a feature of gender, but also produced by electoral geography

Militancy shines on the big screen, but democratic tactics actually won British women the vote
No full textDawn Langan Teele writes that although the recent film Suffragette bucks the elite perspective of the suffrage movement, any film which focusses exclusively on the militant wing ignores the key role played by the tens of thousands of non-militant suffragists. Her recent research focusses specifically on the alliance between the nascent Labour Party and the Liberal wing of the suffrage movement which was central to securing women’s inclusion in the 1918 Representation of the People Act
