DESCRIPTION:*Can propaganda affect cultural norms? I study the effect of lo
 cal exposure to suffragette demonstrations on gender norms. I exploit sever
 al cross-counties pilgrimages in the US undertaken by the suffragettes in t
 he early 20th century to demand women’s right to vote. I build a novel hi
 storical database using local newspaper archives to map the itinerary of th
 e hikes. Then\, exploiting individual-level information from the US censuse
 s (1900-1920) and using variation over time and across space\, I investigat
 e the impact of pilgrimage exposure on various measures of gender norms. Pr
 eliminary results suggest that being exposed to suffragette demonstrations 
 increases female labor force participation\, decreases fertility and marria
 ge.** This paper investigates the impact of a unique coercive sterilizatio
 n program in India on gender roles and identities. This program targeted mo
 stly husbands with more than 2 children and lasted 6 months from August 197
 6. We hypothesize that coercive vasectomies could have impacted gender role
 s through two channels: (i) having fewer children could improve mothers' e
 conomic and well-being outcomes and lead to a change in the quantity-quali
 ty trade-off for children (ii) the shock of forced vasectomies could lead 
 to male identity backlash and increase violence within the household and so
 ciety. Using difference-in-differences strategies with a geographical varia
 tion in coercion intensity across districts\, we find that an increase of 1
  percentage point in exposure to this program led to (i) a negligible impac
 t on fertility\, although school enrollment increased by 1% and is led by g
 irls\, (ii) an increase in violent crime rates. This effect is driven by mu
 rders and rapes\, which respectively increase by 0.1% and 3.5%.\\n\\nContac
