Women in Parliament, 1945-2003: Cross-National Dataset

This data collection provides information on women's inclusion in parliamentary bodies in over 150 countries from 1945 to 2003. The dataset allows for extensive, large-scale, cross-national investigation of the factors that explain women's attainment of political power over time and provides educators with comprehensive international and historical information on women in a variety of political positions. Information is provided on female suffrage, the first female member of parliament, yearly percentages of women in parliaments, when women reached important representational milestones, such as 10 percent, 20 percent, and 30 percent of a legislature, and when women achieved highly-visible political positions, such as prime minister, president, or head of parliament.本数据集收录了1945年至2003年间150余个国家议会体系中的女性参政相关信息。本数据集可支持开展大规模跨国系统性研究，以解析不同时期女性获取政治权力的影响因素；同时可为教育工作者提供涵盖各类政治岗位女性的全方位国际历史数据。数据集包含的具体信息包括：女性选举权情况、首位女性议员的当选时间、议会女性占比的年度统计数据、女性达到议会席位10%、20%、30%等关键代表性里程碑的时间节点，以及女性出任总理、总统、议会议长等极具影响力政治职位的具体时间。
