Revision as of 10:57, 13 July 2024
This list presents female speakers of national and territorial upper houses of their respective countries or territories. The upper house, often called the Senate, is the one of two chambers in a bicameral legislature. The upper house usually has less power than the lower house. In some countries, its members are appointed rather than elected by popular votes. Speaker of the upper house is the one who takes office as acting head of state in presidential republic.
National
Denotes incumbent speaker
- Italics denotes acting speaker and states that are either de facto (with limited to no international recognition) or defunct.
