• This article analyzes women's and men's interventions during plenary sessions of three local political institutions. The objective is to understand to which extent oral intervention, which plays a central role in the acquisition of the legitimacy needed to be an elected representative, differ according to gender. Interactions are observed, oral interventions are quantified, and interviews are carried out about this oratorical exercise. The cost of intervening is higher for women than it is for men. This difference is accentuated in joint assemblies. Women's greatest difficulties lead them to summon up alternative behavior which varies according to political experience.
