women leaders
She who commands
Women leaders refers to women who hold positions of authority, influence, or command—in politics, business, organizations, or movements.
The phrase emphasizes gender because leadership has historically been male-dominated: The conference featured women leaders from across industries.
Some find the construction redundant or othering, preferring simply "leaders" when gender isn't relevant to the discussion.
