female leader
She who leads
A female leader is a woman who holds a position of authority, command, or influence over others.
The phrase appears in contexts where the leader's sex is relevant—historical firsts, gender representation discussions, or when distinguishing from male counterparts: She became the company's first female leader.
In many contexts, simply "leader" suffices.
