在1997年的大选中，101名工党女议员重返下议院。他们占议会工党的24%，根据临界质量理论，他们是一个“倾斜的群体”，处于影响变革的位置。通过对1997年首次当选的23名工党女议员的深入采访，本文确定了她们中的许多人认为女性政治家以女性化的方式从事政治活动。然而，这种说法是以性别而不是性别差异为前提的，政党身份也被认为是一个重要的决定因素。通过对新当选的工党女议员在议会投票中的忠诚度的讨论，探讨了女议员认为女性风格比男性更不合法的看法。
One hundred and one Labour women MPs were returned to the House of Commons at the 1997 general election. Constituting 24 per cent of the Parliamentary Labour Party, they were, according to critical mass theory, a ‘tilted group’ and in a position to effect change. Drawing on 23 in-depth interviews with Labour women MPs first elected in 1997, this article establishes that many of them believe that women politicians practise politics in a feminised way. This claim is, however, premised upon gender rather than sex differences and party identity is also identified as an important determinant. The women MPs' perception that women's style is less legitimate than men's is explored through a discussion of the newly elected Labour women MPs' loyalty in parliamentary votes.
