How did the first female voters cast their ballots? For almost 100
years, answers to this question have eluded scholars. Counting
Women's Ballots employs new data and novel methods to provide
insights into whether, how, and with what consequences women voted
in the elections after suffrage. The analysis covers a larger and
more diverse set of places, over a longer period of time, than has
previously been possible. J. Kevin Corder and Christina Wolbrecht
find that the extent to which women voted and which parties they
supported varied considerably across time and place, challenging
attempts to describe female voters in terms of simple
generalizations. Many women adapted quickly to their new right;
others did not. In some cases, women reinforced existing partisan
advantages; in others, they contributed to dramatic political
realignment. Counting Women's Ballots improves our understanding of
the largest expansion of the American electorate during a
transformative period of American history.
