It is well known that in Brazil, like in many other countries around the globe, women are underrepresented in political posts. Understanding the impacts of this discrepancy on policy choice and redistribution across many areas of inquiry is, therefore, an important research endeavor. Extant literature shows a strong link between women and the economic development of the areas they govern, specifically that they provide public goods relevant to the needs of women constituents. However, despite the efforts to explore the impacts of gender political leaders, we still do not know what is the consequence of gender on policy outcomes. Exploring a rich dataset on Brazilian municipalities, I intend to enrich the literature on the role of female politicians on politics. I employ a regression discontinuity design using Brazilian elections and indicators on education based on the basic education development index (IDEB), education expenditures and local policies. I find that municipalities where a woman enters into power do not perform better on education and do not present more investments or policies to improve education.

Entendemos que o estudo deste percurso se faz necessário para compreendermos a difícil e cultural participação das mulheres nos espaços de poder no país nas esferas municipal, estadual e nacional. Para isso, nosso objeto de análise se detém aos relatos de cinco prefeitas paraibanas sobre a política formal. São elas: Pollyana Yasnaia (PT) prefeita reeleita em 2012 na cidade de Pombal PB; Ednacé Henrique, prefeita reeleita em 2012 no município de Monteiro – PB; Euda Fabiana, prefeita reeleita em 2012 em Cuité – PB; Luzinectt Costa, prefeita reeleita em 2012 em Barra de São Miguel – PB e Rosângela Leite, prefeita eleita em 2012 em Desterro – PB. Foi necessária a realização de uma pesquisa qualitativa sobre a inserção das mulheres na política formal, em que o entendimento dos valores morais e simbólicos nas falas que coletamos foram imprescindíveis ao nosso estudo. Neste sentido, a “entrevista” foi uma técnica importante para que pudéssemos entrevistar as prefeitas e estudar as falas delas como um rico conjunto simbólico. A nossa hipótese é de que as mulheres quando no exercício do poder público continuam reproduzindo o poder histórico da prática política dos homens. Percorremos o objetivo de afirmar que mesmo alcançando determinado cargo público tais mulheres assim o conquistam pela força das relações de parentesco. Apesar disso, acreditamos que é uma vitória para as mulheres assumirem cargo público de poder político, tal como a prefeitura de uma cidade, mas também acreditamos que ao assumir reproduzem estereótipos da mulher na sociedade. Ou seja, as prefeitas assumem uma postura da imagem da mulher culturalmente arraigada nas suas práticas de diferença em relação ao homem: são mais sensíveis, tem um olhar mais clínico, têm a capacidade de fazer muitas tarefas ao mesmo tempo, são mais comedidas, são cuidadoras, e são as mães do povo. A pesquisa buscou compreender a ideia de que a presença da mulher neste espaço de poder, na Paraíba, reproduz o poder masculinizado da política, uma vez que as práticas tradicionais exercidos pelos “donos do poder” são reproduzidos por estas mulheres, a exemplo do assistencialismo social, do uso da “fé religiosa” e da imagem da “mãe pátria”, tais atributos contribuem para angariar votos e com isso perpetuar o poder de família no grupo político do município e região. Tais práticas corroboram para a reprodução de estruturas de poder político e econômico que se constituíram historicamente no Estado e agora estão reproduzidas na atualidade a partir, também, da “entrada” delas na política. / The thesis discusses the symbolic representations of women's participation in politics, to do a theoretical course on the experiences of women in the feminist struggles in Brazil and the context of submission and inequality of rights for their entry into formal politics. We understand that the study of this path is necessary to understand the difficult and cultural participation of women in the spaces of power in the country at the municipal, state and national levels. For this, our analysis makes uses of the reports from five female mayors from the State of Paraiba about formal politics. They are: Pollyana Yasnaia (PT) mayor re-elected in 2012 in the city of Pombal PB; Ednacé Henrique, mayor reelected in 2012 in the municipality of Monteiro - PB; Euda Fabiana, mayor reelected in 2012 in Cuité - PB; Luzinectt Costa, mayor reelected in 2012 in Barra de São Miguel - PB and Rosângela Leite, mayor elected in 2012 in Desterro - PB. It was necessary to carry out a quantitative - qualitative research on the insertion of women in formal politics, in which the understanding of moral and symbolic values in the speeches we collected proved essential to our study. Our hypothesis is that women in the exercise of public power continue to reproduce the masculinized power of political practice. We have concluded that when they reach such a public office, women generally conquer it by the force of kinship relations. Despite this, we believe that it is a victory for women to assume public office of political power, such as a city hall, but we also believe that when they assume such an office, they reproduce women's stereotypes in the society. That is to say, the female mayors assume a position of the image of the woman culturally rooted in their practices of difference in relation to the man: they are more sensitive, have a more clinical look, have the capacity to do many tasks at the same time, are more restrained, are caregivers, and are the mothers of the people. The research sought to understand the idea that the presence of women in this power space, in Paraíba, reproduces the masculinized power of politics, since the traditional practices exercised by the "owners of power" are reproduced by these women, such as social welfare, the use of "religious faith" and the image of the "mother country". These attributes contribute to win votes and thereby perpetuate the power of dynasties in the political group of the municipality and region. These practices contribute to the preservation of structures of political and economic power that have historically constituted themselves in the State and continue to be reproduced today, starting from the "entry" of women into politics.
