[1] Krook then returned to Columbia University, where she earned an MPhil in 1999, and a Certificate in Western European Studies and one in Feminist Scholarship in 2001.
[1] She graduated from Columbia University with a PhD in 2005, with a dissertation entitled Politicizing Representation: Campaigns for Candidate Gender Quotas Worldwide.
[4] Quotas for Women in Politics was one of the first attempts to study gender quotes in an explicitly comparative framework, rather than focusing on one case at a time.
[6] 9 years later, the book won the George H. Hallett Award from the Representation and Electoral Systems Section of the American Political Science Association, which recognizes a book that was published at least 10 years previously that made a lasting contribution to the study of representation and electoral systems.
[12] Krook's work has been cited, or she has been quoted, in outlets like The New York Times,[13] The Hill,[14] The Economist,[15] Wired,[16] and The Washington Post.
