67 women changing the world
We understand our world through stories; they are the foundation of our culture and our history. For too long women have played supporting parts in these narratives, but at The Female Lead, women are centre stage. Through the collected stories we hope above all to show young women the countless routes to fulfilment and success.
Together our female leads, who range in age, background, career, nationality, race, and beliefs, demonstrate that no one journey is right or successful. They are living proof that we must find our own paths and question the traditional options that women have been granted until now.

Women in Brazil
Next year, we hope to celebrate the women of Brazil. To herald this ambition, we have profiled 4 amazing women who are outstanding in their fields of work; who have broken free from society's constraints and shown resilience, brilliance and fortitude. Our newly translated e-book will be available to schools later in 2022.
Sonia Guajajara is an indigenous activist and politician
Sonia Guimarães is the first Professor of Physics
Gabriella Di Laccio is an operatic soprano who celebrates women in music
Luiza Trajano is a billionaire businessperson and leading lady
Women in Finance
The 12 women featured represent some of the most admirable and inspirational across the world of finance today. These are talented women and active role models who are changing the face and culture of an industry that has long been male dominated.
We acknowledge and celebrate our valued supporters mentioned below.
