There have been several female presidents/world leaders. Unfortunately, they didn't do very well! I can think of three examples. In Britain, there was PM Thatcher, the "iron lady" who was heavily conservative and pro-military. The Falklands War and her policy against the communists were her trademark. The low classes hated her. Then there was Canada's PM Kim Campbell, who didn't last more than a few months before screwing up. She was so inept in public relations that during her elections, she said you shouldn't vote for her opponent because of his ugly lip. She was referring to famously wry-lipped Jean Chretien, who beat her and was elected as PM for the next 15 years! There was also Imelda Marcos, of the Philipines, who spent millions on her shoe fetish while her country was in economic crisis and nearly got herself lynched by the lower classes revolution.
Nevertheless, I think Hilary Clinton can become the first female president due to her abilities. What do you think?
