Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses the process of participation and representation of women in political institutions, with special reference to the situation in Serbia. The paper represents an attempt to answer the question of how to increase the number of women active in political life and how to achieve both descriptive and substantial representation, which is necessary for the increase of women’s political power. The influence of certain political factors, primarily political parties’ nomination and selection, on the growing number of women who decide to run for political office, is analysed.
