The Political Limits of the Patriarchy: Women’s Rights in Early Representative Institutions
Excited to share my new publication @poppublicsphere.bsky.social! We often think that women’s formal political participation began in the 1900s. Using archival records from over 150 assembly meetings between 1493-1789 in France, I show that, in fact, some women had political rights much earlier!

@lenkabustikova.bsky.social and I introduce the concept of "Confessional Illiberalism" and distinguish it from two other forms of illiberalism, reactionary and prejudicial illiberalism.
We also compare the concept to other '-isms' to tidy the backsliding literature.

Excited to share a forthcoming ch. w/ @teele.bsky.social in Handbook of Political Economy eds. Acemoglu & Robinson. We show how the historical evolution of women’s rights in Europe doesn’t fit the conventional story of initial exclusion followed by monotonic progress papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
