Women that have rocked the planet included ordinary women, with extraordinary legacies. These women did not wake up in the morning and say, “I’m going to change history today for all women into the future.” These women rose to the front lines, and fought the long hard battles, against the tides of what was common, or acceptable in our society.
These women invented a new possibility, when none were present. Many people still feel that women have no place in leadership and can’t hold their own against powerful men. Yet in the world today, there are six women (past included) Prime Ministers in; Germany, Jamaica, New Zealand, Mozambique, South Korea, and The Netherlands Antilles . Of the monarchies, there are reigning Queens in Denmark, The Netherlands, and the United Kingdom - the latter is represented by female Governor Generals in Canada and Saint Lucia, who function as their countries- de-facto Heads of State. What do Chile, Liberia, and Germany have in common? They have all elected their first female leaders. Since the foundation of time, or as far back as records exist, there have been powerful female rulers. Egyptian Queensare believed to have governed from around 3000 BCE, the first being Ku-baba who ruled in the Mesopotamian City-State of Ur in ~2500 BCE. However, it was not until after World War I that the first few women became members of governments. The world’s first female cabinet minister was Nina Bang, Danish Minister of Education 1924-26. Today, there are only two countries that have never had a female member of government; Monaco and Saudi Arabia.

Certainly worth a consideration...and I believe when the time is right..sooner or later FIJI will have it's first elected woman Prime Minister.; ▶ Reply to This

We have a lot of qualified ladies and my suggestion is my former school principal who has an impressive profile on public service Ms TAUFA VAKATALE. My money is on her. Vacava that any OG can second that.; ▶ Reply to This
