The first woman to serve as President of a major nation’s senate was Kamala Harris in the context of the United States Senate. She took office in January 2021 and made history as the first female vice president as well. As Senate President, Harris plays a critical role in leading the chamber, overseeing legislative procedures, and can cast the tie-breaking vote on bills. Her position not only reflects a significant milestone for women in politics but also symbolizes progress toward gender equality in leadership roles across government.
