190 Countries 9 Female Leaders

Australia, Germany, Brazil, Ireland, Finland,Liberia, Iceland, Costa Rica and Kosovo have female leaders, another eleven have female heads of state. Some may be figureheads only.


This ratio stunned me.  I know we have made progress and yet the number still amazes me. So little power in the world.  Does this amaze you?  Or is it only me?


Makes me question equality?  Is it possible?  Are we meant to compete with men for power, for our point of view?  For no wars, less greed, less need to look good to our buddies?  For a more peaceful existence.  We are always the reconcilers in our families, we are the ones who make ends meet, somehow!


I remember the beginning of the women's movement in the 60's. So much hope that opportunities would open for women.  They have somewhat, and at what price?  American women are viewed by others as extremely aggressive, yet we haven't achieved equality in the work place nor the home.


Once again, I want to mention why I started this blog.  To create exchange of ideas, strengthening tolerance and equality. We have a long way to go.  That is how I see it, how do you see it?  Make a comment by scrolling over the word "comments" below.
