dents to develop future education, training new kind of talent. New ecology of education emphasizes equality and development in education, and considers the different groups of multiple interests and multiple roles, try to eliminate structural contradictions between different groups . So that people can share the opportunity equally, harmonious coexistence and equal development. From the perspective of individual, the new ecology of education is to respect the individual's development aspirations , development needs, and development opportunities, etc. So that everyone in higher education can share the fruits of development, promote their own development, and achieve their self-worth.
University is the main body of higher education. It build our talent structure and lead the direction of the times. New ecology
of education emphasizes higher education should respect each student, pay attention to student needs, carry out targeted education, improve the overall quality of students. University is a national think tank, bear the important mission for the future development of the community leader, bear the development and reserve leadership resources of the forward-looking tasks. In order to meet the development trend of globalization, infor-mationization and economic integration, Leadership education in Universities is not only in line with the quality education promoted by the state, but also in line with the requirements of the growth and development of the students themselves.
New ecology of education is inclusive and respect differences, it provide a equal and balanced education for different groups . From the perspective of gender, women and men should enjoy the same educational resources and educational opportunities in the new ecology of education . It carry out certain gender education for boys and girls, focusing on pertinence and individualization. The cultivation of female college student needs to enhance the comprehensive quality and ability of women in all aspects. Leadership education is an important content of ability training , is conducive to the growth and development of young female talent.
Social development and the emergence of female talent, making the enhance and cultivate of female leadership become an important theme of higher education. Generally speaking, leadership means the influence of the leader in the organization activities lead and guide the team toward the common goal . Women's leadership is the ability of women leaders to use their own power, leadership qualities, and leadership charisma in a given context to influence others' willingness work in the organization voluntarily to achieve organizational goals excellently [1].
Leadership education is based on the subject of leadership education of college students, explore the potential of college students, enhance the leadership skills of interdisciplinary education. International Leaders Association believes that leadership education mainly refers to the theory and practice of research in school , family, social and other fields to enhance the relevant knowledge and ability of the leadership. The purpose of it is to cultivate the educated people have better leadership skills to carry out leadership work, so as to complete the leadership task [3]. Leadership education includes both general and narrow sense of the two kinds of argument. Generalized leadership education refers to all planned, organized educational activities that promote individual leadership. The narrow sense of leadership education mainly
refers to the leadership education activities in the teaching institutions, the educators carry out the system of education or training to enhance the leadership ability of the educated in all aspects [4].
Higher education development in China has made rapid progress. The number of female students in colleges and universities have increased greatly, female students have occupied half of the higher education.According to the statistical data, in 2014, the proportion of female undergraduates and junior college students in regular institutions of higher learning is 52,1%, the same number of graduates and doctors are respectively 51,6% and 36% [5]. The increase number of female students has raised new challenges in the cultivation of female talents in higher education.
New ecology of education requires higher education to respect each student, carry out targeted education from their own development needs . The leadership education is the specialization and systematic quality education of female college students, so as to enhance their leadership consciousness , stimulate their leadership potential and master the basic leadership knowledge and leadership skills. Female college students as the number of occupy half of the crowd, their quality education and personnel training has become an important part of higher education. Based on the women's gender temperament and social cultural reality, the leadership education cultivate female college students to enhance their personal ability and their self-esteem, self-love, self-confidence, and self-confidence.

2.1. Leadership education is an important part of female talent training in higher education
Higher education has an important responsibility for fostering future leaders for the country and society, which is the consensus of many university president. In the autumn of 1936, when Zhu Kezhen became president of Zhejiang University, he made a speech at the Opening Ceremony for new students, he point out that the goal of university education was
not only to cultivate" many experts, such as engineers, doctors and the like", but to cultivate "young leaders who have loyalty and re-sponsibility,to change the society and save the nation. " He call up all the students " to service in the society, to be the leaders in the future, so that our country will become stronger [2]."
Leaders are scarce human resources. Leadership training requires long-term planning and forward-looking design. University is an important base for the growth of young students, which can cultivate high-quality young talent for the society. The leadership education of college students is the training of future leaders and the development of talent resources, which is an important content of the cultivation of young talents.
The training of female leaders should be carried out from the young people, and the content of leadership training should be included in the higher education system. T leadership education of the university should be promoted from the strategic level of national talent construction. Female college students are women's elite talents in the future. In the current society, women are widely involved in socio-economic and cultural construction, the participation of social public affairs is also increasing. The emergence of a large number of female talent require women education and training to become more specialized and refined. Higher education in the female college students is not only to let them master the rich professional knowledge, but also to enhance women's ability and self-confidence , make them become leaders who have social influence. We found that more and more women have played increasingly important leadership roles in various fields and various industries. They are an important force to promote national and social development.

Leadership education of college students is not only the quality education advocated by the state, but also meet the requirements of college students' own development. Leadership is an important part of personal accomplishment, whether or not he/she is a leader. From personal perspective of female college students, the changing social environment requires them to continuously improve their per-
sonal qualities and abilities, adapt to environmental needs, and respond to social challenges. Many college students are very concerned about their ability and their future. Leadership education is an important content to improve the overall quality of college students. It is urgent and realistic for them. Only by continuously improve their overall quality, tempering leadership, they can adapt to changing social needs, to achieve self-worth, and lead the development of the era.
Leadership education not only improves students' personal qualities, but also enhances their sense of social responsibility, make them care for others and society They will break through the person development of a small vision, beyond the limitations of individuals,use team awareness and leadership to lead the people around to achieve innovative development.
Practice shows that students who have received leadership education mostly have team spirit and a stronger ability to adapt to the environment , they also shows good communication ability and innovation awareness. Such students will undoubtedly be more competitive in career development.Many company prefer to choose those students , they can get more platforms and opportunities after they graduated.
3. Focus areas of the leadership education of female college students
Leadership education requires systematic and practical education on leadership. There are three dimensions of the leadership education of college students: Values, knowledge, and behavior.

portant role in the healthy growth of female college students When students who lack of gender awareness face gender bias in life, gender discrimination in employment, gender barriers in career development, and other issues of life development, they are easy to lack the ability to judge, lose a clear position, resulting in inferiority complex.
Gender awareness education focuses on eliminating cultural barriers in the growth of both sexes and promoting gender equality. Help people face gender differences, overcome gender bias and restraint, and fully develop personal potential, cultivate a complete personality. Gender awareness education help female students establish the concept of gender equality, to eliminate gender misunderstanding and blind spots.

Female leadership education is not only to cultivate female student cadres, but should cover the vast majority of ordinary female college students. Society needs more female talent to contribute their own value, have a positive im-pact.We need not only a small number of elite leaders, but also more citizens and individuals with leadership. For the needs of women talents in society, universities should set up relevant leadership courses in the foundation Course . Enhance the social responsibility of college students as citizens, and emphasize the awareness of college students' social participation.
On the other hand, the general education and elite education of leadership should combined. Choose some students who have good leadership potential, give them targeted education and training.

create a number of outstanding young female leaders for the country and society.
