After ten years of quotas, women are more likely to stand for, and win, elected positions in councils required to have a female chief councilor in the previous two elections. We provide experimental and survey evidence on one channel of influence\u2014changes in voter attitudes. Prior exposure to a female chief councilor improves perceptions of female leader effectiveness and weakens stereotypes about gender roles in the public and domestic spheres.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=1&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiRoNvXy5_nAhWQdt8KHblOCuQQFjAAegQIBRAB&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Feconomics.mit.edu%2Ffiles%2F3122&amp;usg=AOvVaw2VH_wwLNAiFf2UP2a90uIU\" target=\"_blank\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDownload a working paper version of the article\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<p><strong>Citation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cPowerful Women: Does Exposure Reduce Bias?\u201d Lori Beaman, Raghabendra Chattopadhyay, Esther Duflo, Rohini Pande, Petia Topalova. <em>The Quarterly Journal of Economics<\/em>, Volume 124, Issue 4, November 2009, Pages 1497\u20131540<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this study, a group of female researchers explores what happens to norms around women when women take on leadership positions in their communities. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2197,"featured_media":1382,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"tpl-full-width.php","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[60,308,95,96,89,80,86],"tags":[186,533,569,573,103,523,571],"class_list":["post-2504","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-content-type","category-full-research-articles","category-governance-institutions-and-political-economy-research","category-health-browse-by-research-topic","category-browse-by-research-topic","category-research-by-region","category-south-asia","tag-duflo","tag-esther-duflo","tag-gender","tag-gender-quotas","tag-india","tag-nobel-2019","tag-women-in-leadership"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/cdealumniresources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2504","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/cdealumniresources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/cdealumniresources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/cdealumniresources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2197"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/cdealumniresources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2504"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/cdealumniresources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2504\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2506,"href":"https:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/cdealumniresources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2504\/revisions\/2506"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/cdealumniresources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1382"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/cdealumniresources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2504"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/cdealumniresources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2504"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/cdealumniresources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2504"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
