1. Women as leaders 2. Women in power 3. Women's leadership in South Asian politics 4. Women's participation in Indian politics 5. Women's leadership for good Governance 6. Women's leadership for community development 7. Political Empowerment of women

Summary: There has always been a public fascination with women political leaders, primarily because there have been so few of them; they are indeed exceptional. Because political leadership has primarily been a male domain, arguably one of the last bastions of almost exclusive male power, watching a woman perform this role seems to attract significant interest. political leadership depends on the selection to a safe seat to ensure incumbency over time; professional development through strategic service within party executives and caucuses; intra-party political machinations and visibility of one's own 'feminist' positioning.
