Selecting women, electing women political representation and candidate selection in Latin America

Selecting Women, Electing Women is a groundbreaking book that examines how the rules for candidate selection affect women's political representation in Latin America. Focusing particularly on Chile and Mexico, Magda Hinojosa presents counterintuitive assumptions about factors that promote the election of women. She argues that primaries- which are regularly thought of as the most democratic process for choosing candidates- actually produce fewer female nominees than centralized and seemingly exclusionary candidate selection procedures.
