This dataset contains measures of the representation of women in European National Parliaments. I chose to highlight the gap between the current levels of representation and a target of 50% equal representation. The horizontal lollipop bars are meant to allude to starting points and a destination. A rule of data visualization is to scale the axis to fit the data, but I did not want to create the false idea that 50% is the "ceiling." So, I decided to extend the x-axis to 100% to normalize the idea that there can be female majorities.
