The representation of women in the spheres of political power in Latin America has been a recent and more visible phenomenon after the processes of re-democratization. This article aims to analyze the extent to which the governments of Dilma and Bachelet contributed to raising the levels of female representation in politics and to highlight the strategies and actions that they managed to implement in their governments to increase the participation of women in the political scenario, specifically, in the executive and legislative branches. This is a comparative study of qualitative character with data collected through documented research and interviews with former ministers and members of Feminist NGOs. For the analysis of the data, we chose the theoretical references of feminist and gender studies. Results point out that Bachelet found a more favorable political scenario and that the specificities in the implementation of measures are directly related to the political and social contexts of these countries.
