This article analyzes changes of directions in the political careers of female local councillors, which contribute marginally to professionalization. These very often result in local political trajectories or withdrawal. Altruistic ethic often used and based on personal devotion refers to lowly rank of women and, generally, outsiders. Women must distance themselves if they want to preserve their political positions. They take on professional practices. Besides, their career is dependent on family constraints and local leaders. They have less opportunity to compete for professional elected positions as members of the Parliament because they do not often get involved in political parties. Thus gender builds political careers.
