The Honorable Roza Otunbayeva is the only female to serve as head of state of the Kyrgyz Republic or anywhere in the Central Asian region, and she is one of only a handful of women who has headed a Soviet successor state.

Otunbayeva was a prominent supporter of each of the Kyrgyz Republic's two democratic revolutions. She was named Interim President in 2010, and was elected by referendum to a year- long term of office. In 2011 she became the first president of the Kyrgyz Republic (and anywhere in the Central Asian region) to voluntarily leave office at the end of a term.
