Electing a female leader won't improve things in the United States, simply because someone is a women.

As an outside observer of the USA I can assure you that a female candidate won't solve any problems. Across the common wealth, female leaders have produced mixed results, Theresa May did not last long and was seemingly ineffective, while Margaret Thatcher crushed many a common worker over seeing economic reform that hurts many to this day.

New Zealand has had a mixed bag, with Jenny Shipley being largely ineffective at everything a side from a knife in the back. Helen Clark a female leader led the average New Zealand family to economic dependency on the government, and has a mixed time as a leader economically. Jacinda Ardern has been fantastic as a face, but also has been a lot weaker on many policy issues than the media would have you know.

Ultimately the problem lies beyond the leader, good, bad or incompetent, rather the problem is the system we love in where the interests of corporations and businesses are put a head of that of workers and individuals.
