    This document provides a reading list on the topic of gender and economics, focusing on women's representation in politics and participation in the labor force. The main reading list includes 4 studies: two that examine the impact of having more women in local government in India; one that looks at the effects of a woman winning an election in close races in Brazil; and one working paper on misperceptions of social norms regarding women's labor force participation in Saudi Arabia. The supplementary reading list suggests two additional works: a journal article on women's empowerment and economic development, and a policy paper on women and work in India.
