| Summary: | This paper intends to analyse the notion of citizenship through the devolution process and its impact on the political representation and participation of women in the Scottish Parliament, which has from the beginning ensured a better representation of women politicians. The paper studies the legislative action of women representatives, focusing on their quantitative involvement in various legislative activities as well as on their commitment to “women’s issues”. The comparative approach – women MSP, women MPs and women MPs representing Scottish constituencies – enables to identify the specificities of the Scottish Parliament and to conclude on the potential correlation between the descriptive and the substantive representation of women in Scotland over the first eighteen months of the current legislatures. |
