The electoral system and quotas for women used to elect representatives to the legislature are two important variables that effect women's political representation. "Designing for Equality" provides an overview of the 'fit' of various electoral systems with different kinds of quotas. It assesses how increased women's representation can be achieved under different combinations of electoral systems and quotas, serving as a referene tool for all those who work to increase women's representation in politics.
