Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Research maintains that female legislators are more likely than men to support women’s issues, e.g., child care or maternity benefits – women’s descriptive representation is argued to lead to some degree of substantive representation. This paper addresses the subject by examining roll-call votes from the 1998-2006 Ukrainian Rada: Were female deputies more likely than their male counterparts to vote in support of women’s policies? Varying degrees of party institutionalization allow to better investigate the role party affiliation plays on a deputy’s probability of supporting women’s issues. Preliminary findings suggest that being female has no independent effect on the deputy’s probability of voting for women’s issues. Female elites are not likely to cross party lines and support the policies of concern to their mass counterparts. There is no statistically significant support for the hypothesis that female legislators, even if they enter the parliament through the SMD-tier, are more likely to cross party lines and to back women’s issues. The findings suggest that in even in a fluid party system, a female deputy is more likely to place a greater priority on her electoral fortunes and party’s support than on women’s policy concerns.
