Note: DM= Democratic Men, DW= Democratic Women, RM= Republican Men, and RW= Republican Women. LDS= Low level of Democratic support in the district. HDS= High level of Democratic support in the district. The bars represent the mean proportion of their legislative agenda that a member with a given gender, party, and level of Democratic support in the district, as measured by the district vote for Bill Clinton in 1992, is predicted to devote to sponsorship of women’s issue and feminist bills. Members are assigned a high or low level of district support for Democrats by setting the vote for Clinton at the 25% and 75% quartile levels within each party.
