“The drug world organization is fundamentally gendered” (Anderson 2005). Anderson has continuously insisted that the illicit drug world, based on a patriarchally organized hierarchy where men continue to dominate, is also one that cannot exist without women's empowerment and agency. It is then critical to concentrate on the complex interplay between men and women. There are numerous ways in which women on the border between the United States and Mexico become involved in crime and the illicit drug economy. These roles are complex and contradictory. While drug smuggling and other forms of female involvement in crime on the U.S.-Mexico border often lead to victimization, neglect, and abuse, manipulation of these roles can serve as a vehicle for female empowerment and liberation from male control.

Leadership is a social process shared among all members of a group. Leadership
