Abstract
Leadership emerges as a widely studied topic in national and international scientific publications. In this sense, it is important to find out if the leadership in the feminine deserves equal prominence. Our objective was to analyze the scientific production published in the biblioteca online do conhecimento (b-on) between 2010 and 2017. As a result of the limitation of the research using the keywords "leadership", "feminine" and "genre", 20 articles were analyzed. Most of the studies were descriptive, qualitative, exploratory and cross-sectional, with data collection to be effected through interviews and content analysis being the method of extracting information. The studies focused on the difficulties of women's ascension to positions of superior hierarchies as well as their characteristics and leadership styles. Study samples typically consisted of executive women from various sectors. There is an increase of publications in this matter; nevertheless, recommendations are proposed for future investigations.
