Abstract
ABSTRACTWhat impact does the size of the ethnic minority population have on the representation of women in national legislatures? We examine this question by using provincial-level data from 32 Latin American and postcommunist countries. Our study finds that the size of the ethnic minority population shapes female legislative representation but only in candidate-centric electoral systems. In party-centric systems, any gender bias or resource disadvantage that female legislative candidates face in minority areas appears to be muted by electoral rules.
