Abstract
Since the 1990s, the issue of women’s political representation has become one of the most important topics in the discussion of the nature of democratic regimes in different parts of the world. What are the implications for the functioning of democracy when democratic regimes maintain fundamental inequalities among citizens? This question affects not only young democracies in Latin America, Eastern Europe, Asia, and Africa, but also democracies in countries in which the system of government is perceived to have been consolidated long ago, such as the United Kingdom, France, the United States, and Italy.
