This article analyzes the evolution in the proportion of women
representatives in the 17 Spanish regional chambers along 1980-2011.
We test whether the attainment of the ‘critical’ threshold of 30% of
women in a chamber implies that the share of women is not going to fall
below this threshold. Two hypotheses about the political presence of
women are then tested: parliamentary experience reduces gender
differences in the prospects of obtaining a seat; and women are
confi ned to less infl uential political positions in the legislative.
