Women have been underestimated for their leadership qualities in many professions around the globe. They have not been considered more than a mark of domestic helper or labor only and in many parts of the world, they are not treated more than a slave (Anker, 1998). With the passage of time, a consecutive emphasis was developed in respect of exploring the skills and wisdom in women and women are visible in all walks of life all over the world including developing countries (Wise & Wright, 2012)
