Resum:
This research analyses the leadership of women in Spanish politics. It does so from a feminist perspective, with the commitment to improving their situation and facilitating with this doctoral thesis the path for those who aspire to be leaders. And it does so from the opinion of people who know the subject and from the political voices who reflect on their trajectory and experience. In the first part of this research, the promotion of women's political participation is contextualised from a contemporary perspective. And the notion of leadership is analysed from three dimensions: representativeness, media, and electoral campaigns. In the second part, the research methodology applied is further developed, using a double exploratory approach. For both phases of the study, the qualitative research technique has been chosen as a priority. In both cases, the sample is intentionally non-probabilistic. The concept of leadership has been deeply analysed from the localised variables identified in the results: equality; representativeness; what role do political parties, the media and social networks play; how electoral campaigns influence; what is the political participation of women from a gender perspective; the transformation of our cultural model; the obstacles that prevent reaching leadership positions; and what steps can be taken to encourage women's leadership in politics.
