The results obtained from the research "Meaning of the exercise of female power in the workplace from the perspective of female bosses and subordinates" are presented, which involved understanding the perceptions and constructions that women make of female power and leadership in work contexts. This study was carried out using a qualitative methodology, which made it possible to investigate the meanings and positions constructed and manifested by women of female power and how this is realised in the exercise of leadership. This made it possible to make visible the ways in which women have configured the exercise of power from them and towards them. This implied passing through a complex web of perceptions that women themselves have of the condition of women in the workplace, in a context marked by the values of a patriarchal society. All of which allowed us to understand the meaning that the women interviewed have of female power and leadership, understanding the process of construction of the power relations that women establish in the different scenarios of social complexity.
