Fifteen women in the administration and party leadership were interviewed in the spring of 1994. Interviews were content analyzed to address the observations of these women leaders. Research questions included entry into the political system, perceived differences in leadership styles, women's agendas, difficulties faced by the women, and coping strategies. Discussion centers around the lessons which can be learned from the Norwegian experience.
