dc.description.abstractAbstract The legislature is believed to be an assembly of, predominantly, elected men and women whose responsibility is to champion the cause of the citizens. This makes it central to democratic practice and sustenance although its existence predates the practice of democracy. But while the legislature is an assembly of elected men and women, the notion of equality in number between both genders cannot be placed on equal pedestal. This may be due to a host of factors but not without some consequences for the larger political terrain. It is against this background that this paper examines the role of women in the Nigerian legislature at the federal level in the Fourth Republic, the paper argues that except of recent, women have had increasing fortune in the Nigeria legislative process but this has not reflected in their impact owing to institutional and attitudinal variables. consequently, both institutional and attitudinal reforms are necessary in order to have a robust participation of women in Nigeria; political process.
