After screening to look at just women and individuals who identified themselves somewhere on a liberal to conservative continuum (i.e., screening out people who reported “other” on that variable).

 

***NOTE that the “currently working for pay” variable has been removed because only 707 women responded.

 

The total N in final regression analysis (the multiple regression one) is 10,818.
