The most interesting women’s issue to be studied is not only in sociological study, but also the issue of women in the science of public administration becomes new and interesting issue to be studied. The government issued a policy of general election which strengthen the participation of women in formal politics, that is: Law No. 8 Year 2012 which requires at least 30% of women representation, as one of requirements for political party to be participating in the election. The low participation of women can be seen from at least women who are members of DPRD (Local House of Representatives) in Banyumas Regency.

While the external obstacle that is faced by them is the fundamental burden that is faced by women in the form of the party structural pressures, so that the resulting performance of women legislator as the voice of the people in the area is limited. As well as the lack of emphasis on the executive to improve the performance of the legislature in its efforts to overcome the problems of women legislator in Banyumas.
