This study focuses on the evaluation of women's participation in the Jordan House of Representatives between 2003-2007, to know the level of their performance compared with their colleagues men in the parliament after the issue of interim law that gave women 6 seats in the Lower House.

Moreover, the achievement of women in the parliament is positively affected by their experience in the Lower House.
