Political leadership is usually understood as an arena dominated by men. Despite various campaigns across the globe for women empowerment, patriarchy is still the dominant trend in our society. There are still a huge number of people who cannot admit the fact that women can lead. This study argues that women leadership must be acknowledged. In so doing, this study is composed of three parts. The first part discusses politics of the sexes. The second part presents how various women world leaders do an excellent job in their country’s pandemic response. Finally, the third part reflects on how the world should acknowledge that leadership chooses no gender and that women, just like men, are also capable to lead excellently.
