Replication Data for: " 'Stronger': Learning from Nevada's Women-Led Legislative Majority"

At times there are accelerations in the rate at which women gain representation, but women still do not hold a majority of state legislative seats throughout the United States. We review the history of women’s representation and the components that have endangered and encouraged representation, we then turn to the case of Nevada, the first state to achieve a women's majority. We find that although it is difficult to build such a majority in a state legislature, it is possible to maintain the increased representation in the long run by encouraging women, by welcoming them, working together, and focusing on keeping the ones who are already in office.
