The under-representation of women in local politics has been debated for many years. While there is evidence to suggest that more women are now being elected to local authorities, they continue to face barriers to their entry and to their subsequent progression.

The article further examines women councillors' own perceptions and attitudes to achieving higher office and considers their prospects under the new council constitutions.
