TL;DR: The authors argue that representation occurs both inside and outside legislative arenas, and they call attention to the wide range of actors, sites, goal, and means that inform processes of substantive representation.
Abstract: This article seeks to rethink how scholars have traditionally studied women's substantive representation.

Abstract: In almost 100 countries throughout the world, parties and parliaments have responded to growing national and international pressure to increase women's political representation by introducing electoral gender quotas.
