100 years ago today, the #19amendment was ratified granting women the right to vote. Does it matter? Do women (actually) vote differently than men? Do women have different policy preferences? Do representatives listen to the policy preferences of women? 1/npic.twitter.com/4FHpeJH34w
Yes. A clever test of the assumption of common preferences in households from @ShellyJLundberg et al shows this assumption doesn't hold. Women prefer to allocate more resources to children 2/n https://www.jstor.org/stable/146179?casa_token=IFMLY3uW15oAAAAA%3AgEhjU2KiUlH7ITA6-7u_Mw7_CVMZ5fk3BlwKbvLq5KCofY43SHw5K_I5dzENhZMJpNk0BZ2-0QI1pv6R_lt-LL6lE0zvna0kC9B7Y2SYGw3wFpFGxA&seq=1#metadata_info_tab_contents …
Yes. Immediately following suffrage laws, we saw shifts in legislative behavior and large, sudden increases in local public health spending and child mortality declined by 8–15% ( 20,000 fewer annual child deaths nationwide) 3/nhttps://academic.oup.com/qje/article/123/3/1287/1928181 …
Yes. Women's representation in elected office leads to policies that address critical areas of concern for women @IWPResearch 4/n https://www.csus.edu/indiv/n/nalderk/vwomen%20legislators%20and%20woman%20policy.pdf …
100 years after the ratification of #19amendment, women remain underrepresented in elected offices in the U.S. and the issues that are critical to women still don't receive enough attention (and the stats are even worse for minority women) @RepresentWomen #VOTE 5/npic.twitter.com/zUtrtJHWXh
Well, #19amendment granted *some* women the right to vote.
As for how it mattered: this would be even more interesting if you could overcome the tired 2nd wave feminist assumption that "women" is a stable natural category and fully break down the analysis by race and class.
True. An argument can be made (still) for only some women having the right to vote today - with voter purges in Ohio, removing polling locations, efforts to make absentee voting more difficult... (these policies aren't race neutral).
