The female equivalent form presidenta is more commonly used in Brazil, with an increase in use since the election of 36th Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff in 2011 and her usage as a term of address. This form is sometimes proscribed, with the suffix -ente being epicene, and is typically considered optional in formal speech.
