Farrell has cultivated a much more prominent media profile than Woolley or Carra, and has for decades. She's also been on council for 5 terms, versus 1 and 2 terms for Woolley and Carra respectively.
It's not as though she's the first female councillor this city has had. Sue Higgins (5 terms), Barb Scott (8 terms), and Bev Longstaff (4 terms) all had long careers in office without any handwringing over people being mean to them.
