【 摘 要 】

At the beginning of the 21st century, women are still greatly under-represented in the British Parliament (22 % of all MPs following the 2010 General Election). Even if women candidates and future politicians have benefitted from the reforms of the legislative framework introduced under the last Labour governments, they still face many obstacles. This article intends to examine the various actors who campaign to increase female representation, their strategies and methods, as well as the interactions and the collaboration between the various groups.
