Is it a man's world ?
the presidential candidacy of women in 2 of the strongest overall powers in the world - ones with veto power in useless UN - got me thinking & researching about female leaders/heads of state; there are currently 13:
 | President Mary McAleese, since 1997 |
 | Prime Minister Helen Clark, since 1999 |
 | President Vaira Vike-Freiberga, since 1999 |
 | President Tarja Halonen, since 2000 |
 | President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, since 2001 |
 | Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, since 2001 |
 | Prime Minister Luisa Diogo, since 2004 |
 | Chancellor Angela Merkel, since 2005 |
 | President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, since 2006 |
 | President Michelle Bachelet, since 2006 |
 | Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller, since 2006 |
 | Prime Minister Han Myung-Sook, since 2006 |
 | President Micheline Calmy-Rey, since 2007 |
