Notable Female Leaders
Notable Female Leaders
View groupTaken together, female leaders don't always have much in common, aside from gender. Some have brought peace to troubled lands, while others have strewn discontent. Some have been competent or brilliant, others inept or corrupt. Some enormously popular, others ousted. They come from political positions ranging from arch-conservative to ultra-leftist, represent all the world's religions, have been warmongers and peace lovers. All that can be said with certainty is that they have been women in charge.
