    This article explores the short-term policy effects of adding women to the electorate during the Progressive Era in U.S. politics. The question is addressed through the use of a structural model that looks at the indirect as well as the direct policy effects of the addition of women. Analysis of aggregate voting data and other information from Arizona in 1914 and 1916 generally suggests that, depending on the type of issue involved, the addition of women was significant in that it swelled the ranks of a relatively conservative component of the electorate and those of particular culturaleconomic groups.
