Abstract
The  central  objective  of  this  thesis  is  to  analyze  the  representation  of  women legislators,  considering  not  only  the  relationship  between  descriptive  and  substantive representation  of  gender,  but  also  the  specific  content  of  the  latter  and  the  dispute  generated around  its  characterization  in  all  the  aspects  that  political  representation  includes.  In  order  to do  this,  we  analyze  a  case  study  that  showed  how  complex  it  is  to  characterize  theoretically  a set  of  interests  based  on  different  cultural,  ideological,  ontological  and  value  conceptions,  and the role of the women who must perform institutionally in pursuit of their  realization. 
 
We studied Argentine national legislators who participated in the parliamentary debate of the bill for the Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy (IVE) in the year 2018, linking four elements: the individual characteristics of female legislators (related to ideology, party identity and gender awareness), the existence of a critical mass (and its capacity to influence the parliamentary agenda), the institutional context (legislative environment, the electoral system and the structure of political parties) and the social context (mainly women's movements, pressure groups, the media and public opinion).
 
To study these factors in depth, a two-phase methodological design is used, one quantitative and the other qualitative. Quantitative techniques are implemented to present the statistics of the data related to the descriptive dimension of political representation. In addition, qualitative techniques, including content analysis and discourse analysis, are used to answer questions about substantive representation. From the analysis of the case studied, regarding the interaction of those four factors as a whole, this thesis first accounts for the inherent and constant tension within substantive gender representation. Secondly, it confirms the coexistence of different gender agendas, in permanent dispute and collision, each anchored in a certain comprehensive political worldview. Finally, it highlights the limits and deficits of political parties as vehicles capable of channeling substantive citizen demands.
