This book spotlights how women leaders behave in chaotic environments and features examples of women who have been key figures in determining complex socio-economic outcomes throughout history. Women leaders can be seen on many high- levels in the political arena, be they a prime minister, empress or opinion leader. From Kösem Sultan of the Ottoman Empire to Benazir Bhutto, women leaders have had an undeniable effect on modern history. Is it possible to understand the current role of women in politics in Turkey without the First Lady Emine Erdogan? Can we analyze Europe's future without Angela Merkel? There are many different books about women leaders' biography or memoirs of persons who worked closely with them. However, until now, no in-depth scientific analysis of such women leaders with respect to chaos and complexity theory has been available. This work represents a unique and important step towards filling this gap in research, and includes an epilogue presenting women's leadership model visualized by an eight-pointed star.

Prof. Dr. Sefika Sule ERÇETIN graduated from the Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences Department of Business Administration at Anadolu University in 1984. In 1987 she started working as a research assistant at the Division of Educational Administration, Supervision, Planning, and Economics in Hacettepe University and completed her doctoral degree in 1991. In 1994 she was invited to be a visiting scholar by the University of Texas at Austin. She is editor-in-chief of different national and international journals and has been involved in and headed various international and national collaboration projects. She is one of the few academics in Turkey to focus on "chaos, complexity, quantum leadership" since 1990. She is the president, board member and founder member of the International Science Association (ISCASS).
