Answer 1

Answer:    Glass cliff

Explanation: Glass cliff is known as a phenomenon that occurs in times of crisis or times of decline, simply when the chances of failure, if not the greatest, are high, and then women are placed in leadership positions. It certainly applies to times of crisis in business corporations and also in some important political places,  during political campaigns or elections, when it is necessary to deal with times of crisis, and this is often more successfully done by women leaders.This phenomenon suggests that women will be more likely than men to succeed, and to cope with such crisis times and unstable situations when the chances of failure are greatest.
