Argentine quota law
[edit]- ... that the 1991 Argentine quota law, which sets minimum quotas of female candidacies to legislatures, was imitated by eleven other Latin American countries?

The content is very skimpy and relies on only one source. A quick check of Google shows that is a widely-discussed topic and there are many good sources out there, including The 30 Percent Quota Law: A turning point for women's political participation in Argentina (un.org), "Political Tango, Women in the Lead" (NY Times), "Gender Quotas and Women's Substantive Representation: Lessons from Argentina" (Politics & Gender).

I've expanded the article a bit, with some additional sources. More could be done with the sources I used (and other sources exist), but at least the article no longer depends on a single source. I think it's time for another look from a reviewer. Note, however, that when I tried to find a list of the other 11 countries that added similar laws in the next decade (the factoid cited in the hook), I only found 10 (unless we want to count Honduras, which enacted a similar law a few years later). I've edited the hook...--Orlady (talk) 17:31, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
