female leaders

Until recently, there were few female leaders in the political sphere of our life. But lately their regiment on the world stage has arrived. Let us name the most notable cases: Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, president of Argentina, called on compatriots to get used to the phrase “senora presidential”, “madam president”.

The reason why the number of female leaders around the world is growing is that over the past decades they have begun to actively invade political life.

Since the emergence of the global women’s movement and changes in gender relations, which began in the mid-1960s and 1970s, there have been dramatic shifts in the attitudes and perceptions of people in many countries.

Looking back at the women politicians of the past, it is impossible not to see that some of them even have won the reputation of tougher leaders than men. A classic example are the former heads of government of Israel and the UK – Golda Meir and Margaret Thatcher.

One of the challenges for a female politician is the necessity to prove that she is capable of much and that she can easily raise the bar. It seems that the time has come to abandon double standards and judge female leaders in the public arena calmly and businesslikely.
