In the quantitative part, the statistical population was all women heads of households, which was determined by using Cochran's formula to be 384 people, and for more certainty, the statistical sample was increased to 458 people. Results: The results showed that the development of female heads of households has 3 general dimensions (insight, knowledge and character) and 7 factors (faith, self-respect, self-knowledge, knowledge of the environment, life skills, multi-role, behavior management) and the factor load obtained in all Dimensions above 0.70 are acceptable.
