Abstract
Since the mid-20th century, gender equality and women’s emancipation have been global concerns. In Indonesia, gender mainstreaming (Pengarusutamaan Gender – PUG) has been implemented since the early 1990s, serving as a cornerstone for development plans across sectors. Women’s empowerment and related issues have garnered widespread attention, leading to increased recognition of women in public leadership roles. The shift from patriarchal norms to a culture supportive of women’s achievements is underway, fostering opportunities for women to ascend to leadership positions. Public leadership is no longer exclusive to men; women, equipped with competencies and opportunities, can compete healthily for leadership roles. This study, utilizing a grounded theory approach and employing three data collection techniques—interviews, observations, and documentation—focuses on female village heads, supported by input from village staff and the public. The research aims to analyze Madura women’s leadership styles from both masculine and feminine perspectives. The findings reveal an androgynous leadership style among Madurese women, incorporating both feminine and masculine traits. In essence, Madurese women exhibit a leadership style that transcends gender stereotypes, embracing a blend of traditionally perceived feminine and masculine qualities.
