Previous studies, which focused on center-left and center-right parties, found that women tend to fare worse than men under party primaries. However, it remains unclear whether this conclusion also applies to non-mainstream left parties that prioritize women's issues. Using an original dataset encompassing 692 candidates from 204 mixed-gender leadership contests in green, far-left, center-left, and center-right parties across seven Western parliamentary countries over the past 15 years, we demonstrate that the impact of party primaries on women's success depends on the party's ideological orientation. This paper thus contributes to the debate on the trade-off between inclusiveness in candidate and leader selection, and the representation of marginalized groups, such as women.The authors disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: This research has been made possible thanks to the research project, PID2021-124949NB-100/MICIN/AEI/10.13039/FEDER, titled "Should We Divide the Party Leadership to Have More Women Leaders", led by Prof. Astudillo.
