Women Heads of States
http://specials.rediff.com/news/2006/jan/19sld1.htm
The above is a link which lists the Worlds Women who head their state. Well, There are quite a few things which struck me, when i went thro' this. Firstly, it was by accident i clicked on this link and just went thro' it.
Why should there be such a special feature about women heading their state? what is new to it? My only cause of astonishment was that there are only 10 of them, in probably 200+ countries in the world. Probably such low a number could just be the reason for a special feature on them.
India has had quite a few women holding top posts in the states and Mrs Gandhi has been the Prime Minister. We are yet to have a Woman President. That would also soon happen, I guess. Najma Heptullah has been eyeing the post since ages now. The chances are now bleak for her, but there should be somebody else in the near future.
What is the intention of this post on the blog? Well felt like making noise about the particular link i saw. Otherwise, When women are doing almost every other thing in the world a man does, why should a woman get special attention for doing it?
