This list is a development of the writer's research, from 1980 on, to promote the appointment of able women to posts of executive leadership in national and international bodies. To date some 5000 women from 131 democracies have been named in over 90 separate lists. Since May 2000, names of past women leaders, except for the too numerous ministers in national governments, are given in separate annual lists. Both current and past names are also listed on my website, at

The lists owe much to "People in Power", the world's most comprehensive directory of political leadership in sovereign countries and the first systematically to identify women leaders. "People in Power" 230 pp ISSN 0965-7517 is compiled bimonthly at Cambridge International Reference on Current Affairs (CIRCA) by Rosemary Payne and Catherine Jagger 13-17 Sturton Street Cambridge England CB1 2SN (tel + 44 1223 568 017 & )

An excellent website entitled "Worldwide Guide to Women in Leadership", both past and present, not least of junior ministers, is maintained by Martin K I Christensen at . Information on most women presidents, prime, foreign, finance and defence ministers are complemented with photos, usually in colour. Martin has also compiled illustrated lists of women with political authority for all periods back to 4500 BC.

(#) The above threefold division is useful, though not perfect: thus, while the Philippine president (in A) actually holds the foreign affairs portfolio, the Finnish president (in B) holds constitutional responsibilities in foreign affairs. Also, a universally elected president, as in Finland and Ireland, has greater moral authority than one, as in Latvia, chosen by parliament, a moral authority which can also accrue to a female monarch with the length of her reign. Finally, the list includes only formally-designated Deputy Prime Ministers, as distinct from other women listed second (or third) in cabinets.

For her part, Queen Elizabeth II is both Head of the Commonwealth of (53) Nations and Head of State of 16member countries: of Antigua & Barbuda, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, St Kitts & Nevis, Saint Lucia, St Vincent & Grenadines, Solomons, Tuvalu and the United Kingdom.

(#) Highest rank of Minister, unless otherwise indicated as Deputy, Assistant or Junior Minister (DpM), Minister Delegate(MiD), Minister of State (MiS); Executive or State Secretary (StS), and Parliamentary (State) Secretary (PtS); and (Parliamentary) Under Secretary (UnS). The names of 33 women from the earlier categories 1A & 1C are repeated, where they head governments and hold additional portfolios. These 33 are subtracted from the 673 women ministers totalled on page 17, but I have added to the resulting 640, to give the total of 673 above, the 33 women deputy ministers named below, but not included in individual country statistics when that country's total number of deputy ministers is not known.

Biodata on many women named here may be found in:

(#) Reports of "Presidential Appointments of Women to Fulltime Positions requiring Senate Confirmation" under

four earlier US Administrations, were compiled by Roger Garcia of the Congressional Research Service, Library of Congress, Madison Building, Room 304, Washington DC 20540-7000 tel (+ 1 202) 707 8687. These reports provide comprehensive lists of over 800 women appointed to the top five levels of the Federal Executive and Judiciary, from Cabinet Secretary through to Deputy Under Secretary. According to the last report, 94-272 GOV of 7 May 1997, women accounted for 14% of appointments by President Carter (1977-81), 12% by President Reagan (1981-89), 20% by President Bush (1989-93), and 28%, or 302 out of 1072, by President Clinton (1993-97).

A list of the 113 women holding appointive office in 1991, in 36 of the 42 US States with a cabinet structure, may be found in "The Appointment of Women: A Survey of Governors' Cabinets 1989-91", published by the National Women's Political Caucus (NWPC) 1630 Connecticut Ave NW # 201 Washington DC 20009 (+ 1 202) 785 1100. The NPWC also used to publish a National Directory of Women Elected Officials, the final one, that of 1993, naming the 1517women, or 20%, serving in state legislatures, and the 175 mayors of cities with over 30 000 people.

The above list is one of eleven unique databases promoting women's advancement and democracy maintained by the writer since 1980. The above list is one of eleven unique databases promoting women's advancement and democracy maintained by the writer since 1980. Each database is prepared on a voluntary basis, financed from limited personal savings. Each entry takes on average an hour to list, to imagine, research and check the source, often involving travel and other costs. To assemble the above 1300 names, and the 2000 or more different names in earlier lists, has taken over 3000 hours, representing £30 000 worth of research. Not surprisingly, it has become one of the world's best databases of women in government. The list is now issued every six months, with earlier bimonthly lists having been issued as follows, each new list with some 50 additions or changes:

Since January 1997 the anniversaries in the first four lists have been published monthly in advance in The Parity Democrat ISSN 1367-6946 (£60 or $120 annual subscription).

Parity democracy, or paritocracy, is a democracy where women and men become true partners in citizenship and leadership, sharing equal responsibilities in government and administration, parliament and political parties, the judiciary and the media, and over public revenue and expenditure. Parity democracy is an end in itself, to bring to bear on public affairs the intelligence and creativity, the courage and integrity, the kindness and compassion, and the enthusiasm and industry of both halves of humankind. It is also a means to a world where every girl, as well as every boy, from Afghanistan to ex-Zaire, receives adequate nutrition, secondary education, and the expectation of gainful employment and an independent income; and to a world where women and girls enjoy freedom from violence and from the fear of violence.
