Legislatures are dominated by wealthy, white-collar individuals, while the vast majority of the electorate are working-class. In particular, remarkably few women representatives in the US come from working-class backgrounds (less than 1%) while about 12\% of male representatives have working-class backgrounds. The severe underrepresentation of working-class women is because working-class women face double barriers, gender and class, to the development of political career. Working-class women are less endowed with financial resources and networks that enable their candidacy, compared to elite women. At the same time, differences in social roles give women, particularly working-class women, greater caregiving responsibilities, imposing greater constraints than working-class men. Why is it important to have more working-class women in political office? How can we improve the democratic norms and practices by electing more working-class women in office? Using survey experiments, this project answers these questions by (1) explaining how working-class women candidates might mobilize a broader support from the electorate thereby contributing to women's political power and (2) identifying electoral opportunities for working-class women candidates.
