female leadership

Women in charge

Female leadership refers to women holding positions of authority, influence, or decision-making power in organizations, governments, or movements.

The term encompasses both the presence of women in leadership roles and the study of how gender shapes leadership styles and perceptions.

Discussions of female leadership often address barriers women face in advancing to top positions, sometimes called the glass ceiling.
