ABSTRACT

The history of women’s global struggle for equality and justice in society and the deepening of women’s participation in the political decision-making process and access to senior leadership positions, despite the success of women leaders at the international level, such as Ms. Indira Gandhi in India, Mrs. Margaret Thatcher in Britain, and Angela Merkel in Germany. However, the proportion of women in the top leadership positions in countries is still less than the percentage of women activists and political participants or creators in the world and women are still confined to the lower positions in the structure of the state, the severity of the conflict between males on top positions. The leading woman is a woman with a rational behavior, a strong sense of responsibility, and a firm personality to make the right decision and to make the leadership a success.
