000718006 520__ $$aThis unique book presents all 73 female presidents and prime ministers from around the world, from 1960 (when the first was elected) to 2010, organised by chronology and geography written by an experienced politician and academic.
000718006 520__ $$aAt a time when a woman - Angela Merkel - is arguably the most powerful leader in Europe and another - Hillary Clinton - looks continuously poised for the U.S. presidency, it seems that women have broken through the glass ceiling and begun to populate the highest offices of the political world. This book is a testament to that feat, offering a comprehensive overview of female presidents and prime ministers.
