Quotas for women in government have swept the globe. Yet we know
little about their capacity to upend entrenched social, political,
and economic hierarchies. Women, Power, and Property explores this
question within the context of India, the world's largest
democracy. Brule employs a research design that maximizes causal
inference alongside extensive field research to explain the
relationship between political representation, backlash, and
economic empowerment. Her findings show that women in government -
gatekeepers - catalyze access to fundamental economic rights to
property. Women in politics have the power to support constituent
rights at critical junctures, such as marriage negotiations, when
they can strike integrative solutions to intrahousehold bargaining.
Yet there is a paradox: quotas are essential for enforcement of
rights, but they generate backlash against women who gain rights
without bargaining leverage. In this groundbreaking study, Brule
shows how well-designed quotas can operate as a crucial tool to
foster equality and benefit the women they are meant to empower.
