This study analyzes human talent management from a female perspective, highlighting women's strategic contributions and the structural obstacles they face in human resources. The objective was to analyze human talent management from a female perspective, highlighting the contributions, obstacles, and proposals that women have faced in human resources. The research was conducted through a documentary review, examining specialized literature and data from international organizations on gender, leadership, and talent management. The results show that female leadership, characterized by a transformational style and skills such as empathy, contributes to organizational sustainability and efficiency. However, representation gaps remain at strategic levels. The discussion suggests that, to achieve real transformation, it is necessary to eliminate biases in recruitment processes, diversify selection committees, and promote co-responsibility policies. The central conclusion is that integrating a female perspective into talent management is an intelligent strategy for building more humane organizations, adapted to current demands.
