Abstract:

The recognition of electoral rights and the participation of women in political life did not generate a fair representation of them in elected political positions. Beyond discussions or polemics, the need for women’s involvement in politics cannot be ignored, and representation must manifest itself as the basic principle upon which any genuine democracy develops. Through this study, we propose an analysis of women’s participation in political life from the perspective of the reality that Romanian society has faced since the first manifestations of emancipation and winning electoral rights for women until now, when they are still underrepresented in elected political offices.
