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.

本数据集汇聚了自1945年至2003年间，超过150个国家的议会机构中女性参与情况的相关信息。该数据集为研究者提供了对女性在政治权力获得过程中影响因素进行广泛、大规模、跨国度研究的可能，并为教育工作者提供了关于女性在各种政治职位上国际历史背景的全面信息。其中包含了女性选举权、首位女议员、议会中女性占比（按年度）、女性在立法机构中达到重要代表性里程碑（如达到10%、20%、30%等）的时间点，以及女性担任显著政治职位（如总理、总统或议会主席）的信息。
