Specifically, I investigate the influence of rivalries on the election of women, the adoption of a gender quota, and the overall level of gender equality. National security is a prime concern in states involved in an interstate rivalry, which can influence women s lives in a number of key ways. Through the actions of individual voters and rational parties, I find that being in an interstate rivalry leads to lower levels of female representation. In addition, I theorize that rivalries lessen societal pressure to increase female representation. Empirically, I find that rivalries decrease the probability of adopting a strong gender quota. I also investigate sexism and gender equality more broadly, theorizing and finding that men will be given more rights and political power due to their service and sacrifice for the state.
