Media

We believe research should spark both conversation & action.

Our Media page brings together all the ways our work is shaping public dialogue on women's political representation, from Weekend Reading blogs and webinars to news coverage, op-eds, videos, and podcasts. These resources highlight why systems reforms like ranked choice voting, proportional representation, and institutional supports matter, and how they create opportunities for more women to run, win, serve, and lead.

Explore below to see how our research and partnerships are helping change the story of democracy in the United States and beyond.

Weekend Reading on Women's Representation October 9, 2026

On October 10, 1911, California became the sixth state in which women could vote on equal terms with men, nine years before the 19th Amendment enfranchised women nationally. In this week’s Weekend Reading, we mark this milestone and carry forward the spirit of the women’s suffrage movement by working to redesign the systems that still hold women back today.
