DESCRIPTION:This paper investigates whether voter bias against female candi
 dates is conditional on how they present themselves. Using a comprehensive 
 dataset of candidate manifesto images from the 2017\, 2022 and 2024 French 
 parliamentary elections\, we first establish two empirical facts: (i) femal
 e candidates are 20 percentage points more likely to smile than male counte
 rparts and (ii) only female candidates not smiling receive lower vote share
  than comparable men. Second\, we implement an online experiment to study t
 he causal effects of self-presentation. We generate images of politicians w
 ith varied facial expressions using artificial intelligence methods. We the
 n ask subjects to evaluate identical candidates displaying different expres
 sions. We find that a smile increases vote intentions\, perceived warmth\, 
 and perceived attractiveness for female candidates more than for male candi
 dates\, while leaving perceived competence unchanged and reducing perceived
  authority for both groups. Our results suggest that voter bias targets wom
 en who deviate from self-presentation norms. Women who conform avoid the pe
 nalty but at the cost of undermining their own authority.\\n\\nContact: Hou
