State legislative bodies that contain more than a token level (15 percent) of female representatives provide these lawmakers with a greater sense of self-efficacy and opportunities for wider policy influence than those where women number under 15 percent. The objective of this study is to determine the set of factors that carry states across this critical threshold, with a particular emphasis on the political mobilization effects of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) ratification drive.
