Nominations Open for Women in Westminster: The 100 2027

Standard

The House invites the public to nominate the women shaping politics, policy and public life

Nominations are now open for Women in Westminster: The 100 2027. The public is invited to nominate the inspirational and influential women making an impact across politics, policy and public life.

Now in its eighth year, Women in Westminster: The 100 is the annual initiative from The House magazine recognising women whose leadership, expertise and determination are driving change in Westminster and beyond. Nominations are welcomed for women working across Parliament, government, the Civil Service, journalism, business, charities, campaigning and the wider public affairs community.

The initiative offers colleagues, peers and the public the opportunity to put forward women whose contribution deserves greater recognition, including those whose work may not always attract headlines.

The 2027 list will build on the success of previous years, which have recognised women including Dame Prue Leith CBE, Dame Esther Rantzen CBE, Blaise Metreweli CBE, Baroness Angela Smith of Basildon and the Rt Hon Yvette Cooper MP. The final 100 will be chosen by an independent panel of Women in Westminster Patrons and announced in March 2027. Women in Westminster: The 100 2027 is supported by DHL and Vanguard.

Alan White, Editor-in-Chief, The House magazine, said: “I’m delighted The House is showcasing The 100 again this year. 2026 has seen women succeed across many areas of politics and political journalism and I hope the event serves as an inspiration for every woman in Westminster.”

Baroness Jenkin of Kennington said: “Visibility matters. When women’s achievements are recognised, it broadens our understanding of leadership and shows others what is possible. I encourage people across Westminster and public life to nominate the women they admire. This is an opportunity to ensure their work is seen, valued and celebrated.”
