View how it is calculated

Words of women deputies for every hundred words of deputies of known sex, by decade. It measures voice, not seats.

This corpus declares four limitations, each one measured. They are in the dataset's "Known limitations" document, in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

There are 17 files: the interventions; the roster; README, data dictionary, known limitations, and processing report, in English, Spanish, and Portuguese; and, for software, corpus numbers, metadata, and linkage methods.

The interventions file is 465 MB. Do not open it in a spreadsheet: it can truncate rows and text. When you choose the file, the explorer tells you how much memory it needs.
