WORLDWIDE GUIDE TO 
WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP

This site is dedicated to the women who have ruled since the beginning of times - or as long as the sources date back.

There have always been female rulers. Egyptian Queens are believed to have governed from around 3000 BCE, and the first to be named by the sources without any doubt is Ku-baba, who ruled the Mesopotamian City-State of Ur round 2500 BCE.

First female ministers
However, it was not until during and just after the World War I that the first few women became members of the revolutionary governments in Ukraine, Russia, Hungary and Ireland. Nina Bang, Danish Minister of Education 1924-26, was the first woman to be minister in democratically elected parliamentary government. See more in First female ministers. Nevertheless, development was slow and it was not until the end of the 20th century that female ministers stopped being unusual, though a number of countries don't have women in their governments at the moment.

First female Prime Minister and President
In 1960 Sirivamo Bandaranaike of Sri Lanka became the world's first female elected Premier Minister and in 1974 Isabel Perón of Argentina became the first woman President - one woman had been Acting Head of Government and two women Acting Heads of State before that.

In 2009 Monaco became the last country in the world to have it's first female member of government. 1999 Sweden became the first country to have more female ministers than male. 11 women and 9 men and in 2007 the Finish government had 60% women.

Current female heads of state and government
There are 193 members of the United Nations, 2 independent states outside, a few self-declared de-facto independent states and many self-ruling depencies. There are 27 female leaders in countries or self-ruling territories at the moment.

Of the monarchies, there are reigning Queens in 3 countries: Denmark, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom - and the latter is represented by female Governor Generals in 3 countries; Antigua and Barbuda, Australia and Saint Lucia, who function as their countries' de-facto Heads of State.

The 12 female Presidents are in Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, India, Kosovo, Liberia, Lithuania, Malawi, Mauritius, San Marino, Serbia and Switzerland.

And currently there are 10 woman Prime Ministers; in Australia, Bangladesh, Germany, Iceland, Jamaica, Thailand, and Trinidad and Tobago and in the self-governing territories of Bermuda, Sint Maartin and the Åland Islands. For more details see: Situation in 2011
