It’s great to see that more and more women are being elected leaders of various countries – it’s about time. Just a few months back, Angela Merkel became Germany’s first female Chancellor.
Now Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has been elected president of Liberia, marking the first time a woman has attained this position in the whole continent of Africa.
And in South America, Michelle Bachelet was elected Chile’s first female president.
These are great news and signs of social progress, no matter which side of the political spectrum you may belong to.
