Abstract
This article explores the issue of women's representation in state institutions, in this ease the Indian parliament. It is based on interviews with fifteen women members of parliament, and examines: 1) the profile of women in parliament 2) access points to public life for these women, and 3) the role that they play in parliament. The article argues that cross-cutting loyalties, institutional incentives, and tenuous links with women's movements, limit the potential of women MPs in representing women's interests across a range of areas.
