Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This public lecture explores the scarcity of women in leadership roles in the early years of European integration, with notable exceptions. In these years, a woman, K\u00e4te Strobel, ascended to leadership within a major political group and was appointed vice-chair in a non-traditional policy committee, marking significant breakthroughs in gender representation. Drawing on insights from European Studies and Gender Studies and applying Henriette M\u00fcller and Ingeborg T\u00f6mmel\u2019s analytical frameworks, this analysis identifies how opportunities can enhance representation at the highest offices, as well as how institutional settings and political culture constrain women\u2019s success. The study addresses when and why these cases occurred and how windows of opportunity at the European level in the early years can be explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
