Women who lead: successes and challenges of five health leaders

This article uses phenomenological inquiry to understand the subjective experiences of five influential women in their paths to health leadership. Interviews were conducted with these women and key messages were identified. A grounding theme—defined as the essential element for the subjective experience of leading as a woman in the health system—was revealed to be the women's “drive for equity.”
