Political party
Liberal Party of Andorra

Mercè Bonell i Bertran is an Andorran politician. She became the first female member of the General Council after replacing a councilor on 20 November 1984, an office she held until 1986. She was member of the Liberal Party of Andorra.[1][2][3][4][5][6] She was a pioneer for Andorran women in politics. Mercè Bonell was appointed to replace a councilor in the General Council in 1984, just eleven years after women had become elibile in Andorra in 1973, and fourteen years after the introduction of women's suffrage in 1970.[3] Since she was appointed, she was not the first woman elected: that was Maria Teresa Armengol in 1986. Women were rare in the Andorran General Council until the election of 2005.[3]
