These distinctions are empirically evident in parties’ platforms:

🔹Essentialist women’s parties = higher emphasis of democratic & civil rights & economic redistribution

🔹Feminist parties = greater emphasis on gender-based violence & transnational issues e.g., climate, asylum & foreign policy

What do women’s parties want? And how do their platforms differ?

Very happy to share the first paper from my PhD out now in @politicsgenderj.bsky.social! In it, I present a comparative empirical analysis of European women’s parties’ issue concerns in 30yrs of party manifestos. 🧵⬇️
