Women chefs were among some of the earliest to be awarded Michelin stars. Within the Michelin Guide, stars were first introduced in 1926 with the present three star system added in 1931. When three stars were first awarded in 1933, two female chefs, Eugénie Brazier and Marie Bourgeois, were among them. Several female chefs have been awarded three stars since, including Marguerite Bise, Sophie Bise, Nadia Santini, Elena Arzak, Clare Smyth, Anne-Sophie Pic, Carme Ruscalleda and Ana Roš.
In recent years, the number of male chefs awarded stars has greatly outnumbered those given to women. However, there has been an increase in the number of women from different nations awarded, due to the expansion of the areas covered by the guide. The lack of women holding stars has repeatedly led to criticism of the Michelin Guide, who have in turn pointed to the lack of female chefs overall in the industry.
History
The Michelin Guide was first published in 1900 in France to promote driving. In 1926, it began to specialise in fine dining reviews, introducing a single-star system. The current three-star system began in 1931,{{cite news|last1=Feloni|first1=Richard|title=How the Michelin Guide made a tire company the world's fine dining authority|url=https://www.businessinsider.com/history-of-the-michelin-guide-2014-10|access-date=23 December 2017|work=Business Insider|date=20 October 2014|archive-date=13 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180213151112/http://uk.businessinsider.com/history-of-the-michelin-guide-2014-10|url-status=live}}{{cite web|title=History of the MICHELIN guide|url=https://guide.michelin.sg/en/history-of-the-michelin-guide|publisher=Michelin Guide|accessdate=23 December 2017|date=21 April 2016|archive-date=29 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180129155927/https://guide.michelin.sg/en/history-of-the-michelin-guide|url-status=live}} however, three stars were not awarded until the 1933 edition.{{cite news|last1=Boxell|first1=James|title=Star-crossed|url=https://www.ft.com/content/b02d5c1a-adcb-11e0-9038-00144feabdc0|accessdate=9 December 2017|work=Financial Times|date=15 July 2011|archive-date=1 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201181400/https://www.ft.com/content/b02d5c1a-adcb-11e0-9038-00144feabdc0|url-status=live}}
The first women chef to hold a Michelin star was Élisa Blanc in 1929.{{Cite web|title=Les Mères Lyonnaises,Cuisine des Gones Cuisine lyonnaise|url=http://www.cuisine-des-gones.com/les-meres.html|access-date=2021-10-30|website=www.cuisine-des-gones.com|archive-date=1 September 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140901173633/http://cuisine-des-gones.com/les-meres.html|url-status=live}}
The first women chefs to hold three Michelin stars came in that 1933 edition, namely Eugénie Brazier and Marie Bourgeois. However, Brazier won three stars at both of her La Mère Brazier restaurants in Lyon and at Col de la Luère. She held all six for 20 years, and her record for holding the most stars stood until beaten by Alain Ducasse in 1998. It then stood as the record for a female chef until Carme Ruscalleda won her seventh star across several restaurants.{{cite web|last1=Bansal|first1=Geeta|title=Q&A With Seven-Michelin-Starred Catalan Chef Carme Ruscalleda|url=https://www.thedailymeal.com/eat/qa-seven-michelin-starred-catalan-chef-carme-ruscalleda|publisher=The Daily Meal|accessdate=7 December 2017|date=29 June 2017|archive-date=1 March 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180301225113/https://www.thedailymeal.com/eat/qa-seven-michelin-starred-catalan-chef-carme-ruscalleda|url-status=live}}
Some female Michelin-starred chefs prefer not to make an issue out of gender. For example, when three-star chef Dominique Crenn was named the world's best female chef by the prestigious World's 50 Best Restaurants List in 2016, she was outraged, considering referring to her gender "diminishing, unnecessary and irrelevant".{{cite web |title=Not just a great female chef.

Following the Second World War, Marguerite Bise became the third woman to win three Michelin stars at her restaurant Auberge du Père Bise in 1950. It is then often reported that there was a 50-year gap before Anne-Sophie Pic became the fourth woman to win a set of three stars,{{cite book|last1=Lane|first1=Christel|title=The Cultivation of Taste: Chefs and the Organisation of Fine Dining|date=2014|publisher=Oxford University Press|location=Oxford, England|isbn=978-0-198758-358|page=108|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kdLQAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA108|access-date=30 September 2020|archive-date=14 September 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230914225241/https://books.google.com/books?id=kdLQAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA108|url-status=live}}{{cite news|title=Grande dame: Anne-Sophie Pic comes to London|url=http://www.theweek.co.uk/82766/grande-dame-anne-sophie-pic-comes-to-london|accessdate=9 December 2017|work=The Week|date=21 March 2017|archive-date=1 March 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180301225956/http://www.theweek.co.uk/82766/grande-dame-anne-sophie-pic-comes-to-london|url-status=live}}{{cite news|last1=Angelique|first1=Chrisafis|title=A woman's place: France rocked by Michelin's latest three-star chef|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/feb/22/france.foodanddrink|accessdate=9 December 2017|work=The Guardian|date=22 February 2007|archive-date=31 August 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130831023630/http://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/feb/22/france.foodanddrink|url-status=live}}{{cite news|title=Michelin gives three-star accolade to first woman chef in more than 50 years|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/news/michelin-gives-three-star-accolade-to-first-woman-chef-in-more-than-50-years-1.1196559|accessdate=9 December 2017|work=Irish Times|date=22 February 2007|archive-date=1 March 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180301230624/https://www.irishtimes.com/news/michelin-gives-three-star-accolade-to-first-woman-chef-in-more-than-50-years-1.1196559|url-status=live}} despite Bise's granddaughter Sophie regaining the family restaurant's three stars in 1985, and similar awards made by Michelin to female chefs such as Nadia Santini, Elena Arzak and Clare Smyth in the interim.
While the number of women chefs with Michelin stars has increased in recent years, they are still relatively few. This is partly due to the percentage of female chefs; 4.7% of chefs in the United States are women, while the figure is 20% in the United Kingdom.{{cite news|title=The Rise of the Female Michelin Star Chef|url=http://www.elitetraveler.com/shopping-lifestyle/stars-grace-red-carpet-in-mastoloni-pearls|accessdate=1 December 2017|work=Elite Traveller|archive-date=28 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180228173134/http://www.elitetraveler.com/shopping-lifestyle/stars-grace-red-carpet-in-mastoloni-pearls|url-status=live}} The low number of female chefs with stars has led to criticism of the Michelin Guide, alongside other issues such as the pay gap between male and female chefs.{{cite news|last1=Bahler|first1=Kristen|title=None of New York's New Michelin Stars Went to Female Chefs|url=http://time.com/money/4573818/no-female-chefs-michelin/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161116234027/http://time.com/money/4573818/no-female-chefs-michelin/|url-status=dead|archive-date=16 November 2016|accessdate=1 December 2017|magazine=Time|date=16 November 2016}}
The problem was raised with Michelin director Michael Ellis following the publication of the 2018 New York City edition, who said that the company "can't do anything" to resolve it. Subsequently, a spokesperson said, "Increasingly, more women are entering the profession in this country and around the world. Michelin is not involved in culinary education or recruitment. We deeply value diversity of all kinds and are pleased to see the trend toward greater diversity in the culinary field."{{cite web|last1=Tuder|first1=Stephanie|title=Michelin 'Can't Do Anything' to Change Lack of Female Representation, Director Says|url=https://ny.eater.com/2017/10/31/16585764/michelin-diversity-panel-women-chefs|publisher=Eater|accessdate=1 December 2017|date=31 October 2017|archive-date=2 November 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171102081616/https://ny.eater.com/2017/10/31/16585764/michelin-diversity-panel-women-chefs|url-status=live}}
