While the electoral opportunity structure is fairly stable in an advanced industrial democracy such as Canada, it can change through social evolution, because institutional rules are changed, or in response to demands for increased access by an effectively organized insurgent group.
The unit of measure is individual provincial ridings and the dependent variable is whether the winning candidate in the riding election is a woman (1=female, 0=male).
The gains are especially dramatic in urban districts (conditions 2, 5, 8, 11) where the probability of an MLA being a woman is 14-34 percent higher in the 1990s than it was in the mid-1970s.
