Abstract

Abstract. Women make up almost 50% of our global population ( World Bank, 2019 ); however, they comprise only 6% of elected nation leaders ( UN Women, 2020a ). Though small in number, when coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic impacted our societies in 2019, women leaders were featured for their skillful navigation of an unknown and invisible threat. An understanding of the history of work toward gender equity, the current state of female leadership, and the continued barriers facing female leadership are reviewed to gain increased appreciation for why this emphasis was placed on female leadership. Researches analyzing women leaders during COVID-19 during the early months of the pandemic are presented, showcasing the promising and significant findings. Global women leaders consistently demonstrated a trend of enacting prompt public health measures, resulting in low death rates.

全球危机中的女性领袖

摘要女性占全球人口的近50%(世界银行，2019年);然而，她们只占当选国家领导人的6%(联合国妇女署，2020a)。2019年，当2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)全球大流行影响我们的社会时，尽管人数不多，但女性领导人因善于驾驭未知和无形的威胁而受到关注。对性别平等工作历史的理解，女性领导的现状，以及女性领导面临的持续障碍进行了回顾，以获得对为什么强调女性领导的更多赞赏。介绍了在COVID-19大流行的最初几个月对女性领导人进行分析的研究，展示了有希望的重大发现。全球妇女领导人一贯表现出迅速采取公共卫生措施的趋势，从而降低了死亡率。
