Other countries sucess

Internationally we may be the only country to have equality within our people but, other countries have accepted this idea too. It has not been that long and yet other countries have already had successful women leaders running their country. Why should we be lagging behind? “And women have had the top job in other major democracies: British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and Israeli Prime Golda Meir among them. On Monday, a month-long political deadlock was broken in Germany with a deal that will make consecutive leader Angela Merkel the first female chancellor there.” (Excerpt from Women in power in the other countries). This lucidly shows that women in other countries have already taken the step to show womanhood in their government. Government and the people globally are able to accept woman in the position to oversee their country. It comes to me very phenomenal that the Untied States still hasn’t been able to except this fact. It is not only the people but, woman in this country still carry this belief that they may not be able to withhold a position in the government because women themselves can not see them fulfill this position. It’s not only other countries success that makes us respond extensively but, the response from citizens of the country that contributes to the fact about women. A woman’s aggressiveness is not able to match with anything and the country needs this right now as because it is slowly degrading into the hands of war.

This is a compelling agrument. Are you able to locate information evaluating the success of some of these female leaders? Your argument would be strengthened by proving that not only did female leaders exist but that they governed effectively.

I completly agree with the fact that you said that we were one of the first countries to give women rights and yet we are one of the last to let them hold gerat political power. I like the fact that you included examples of female Prime Ministers, etc. from other countries to back up your statement.
