Gloria Lizárraga De Capriles
Gloria Lizárraga de Capriles (2 May 1944 – 31 March 2021) was a Venezuelan politician who was the first mayor of the Baruta municipality elected by direct vote, as well as the first woman elected to the position. She has been described as one of the pioneering women in Venezuelan politics. Career Involved in politics from a young age, Lizárraga de Capriles became a leader of the Copei political party from the age of 14. Baruta was the first region to declare its autonomy from the Sucre district on 22 September 1987, which was later ratified by the Organic Law of Municipal Regime of 1989. This allowed the new municipality to participate in the regional elections later in the same year. Copei opted for the female leadership of Lizárraga, who was already known for her work in the communities.

The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation. Concepts Legal Chapter One, Article One of the Charter of the United Nations states that "peoples" have the right to self-determination.

Women Mayors Of Places In Venezuela
A woman is an adult female human. Before adulthood, a female child or adolescent is referred to as a girl. Typically, women are of the female sex and inherit a pair of X chromosomes, one from each parent, and women with functional uteruses are capable of pregnancy and giving birth from puberty until menopause. More generally, sex differentiation of the female fetus is governed by the lack of a present, or functioning, ''SRY'' gene on either one of the respective sex chromosomes. Female anatomy is distinguished from male anatomy by the female reproductive system, which includes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and vulva.
