Nominations are officially open for The House magazine’s Women in Westminster: The 100, the renowned initiative celebrating the remarkable contributions of women in public life. This annual recognition honours the achievements of women across various sectors, including parliamentarians, civil servants, journalists, campaigners, think tankers and public affairs professionals.
Now in its seventh year, the campaign highlights women who are not only leaders in their respective fields but also serve as role models with the power to inspire the next generation to make a meaningful impact in Westminster and beyond.
Nominations close on 7th November when the Board of Patrons including new appointee Jaee Samant, Director General at the Department for Business and Trade, Baroness Floella Benjamin OM DBE DL, Anne Alexander, Head of Politics at Good Morning Britain, Labour/Co-operative MP for Hackney South and Shoreditch and Chair of the Treasury Select Committee Meg Hillier, and Baroness Anne Jenkin of Kennington (Co-Founder, Women2Win) will select the list of 100 women for 2026.
Last year saw almost 300 women considered, with the final 100 including Theo Clarke, campaigner and former MP for Stafford, Sharon Gaffka, Violence Against Women and Girls campaigner, Caroline Wheeler, Political Editor of The Sunday Times and Antonia Romeo, then permanent secretary of the Ministry of Justice.
The list will be announced on 3rd March 2026 with a reception at the House of Commons, and a printed supplement alongside The House magazine on 9th March 2026.
