Friendly reminder: female refers to one's sex and woman to one's gender. In French, a woman politician is a "politicienne" or even a "femme en politique". The French equivalent of "female" is "femelle", which is used to refer to animals.

Delighted to share that my second thesis article was published in Politics & Gender today! I examined Canadian mayors' gender performance on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Overall, women mayors still work under added constraints & a greater mental load. cambridge.org/core/journals/…
