Abstract
In Indonesia since the reforms, political participation of women, especially women's representation in decision-making become an important agenda of the government and the legislature. Affirmation and strengthening policies continue to be pursued. In the representation of women in decision-making, of course, one must have followed with a mindset, as well as the ability of the competent. But the fact is, the condition of women's political participation in some Asian developing countries such as Indonesia is still concerning as their participation rates are low due to Social and cultural processes that are more likely to exclude women, especially in government. Therefore, efforts need to change the mindset of society on women's lives. This urges the author to study the problem further in research using a Normative-Juridical Research Method which is literature research. The Result shows that indeed the mindset that men are the one who should be in the seat of government and women stays in the “kitchen” are very deeply rooted in the Indonesian Culture as seen by the fact that in 2014–2019, growth in the number of women as members has stalled, and even gone backward as the proportion of the total, to 97 out of 560, that is 17.3%, therefore efforts is needed substantially, structurally and especially Culturally so that Woman emancipation in politics can be realized.
