leadership in women
A few posts ago I brought up the subject of the possibility
of a Woman President - of the United States.
Today I want to suggest that we follow the suit of other countries -
some of which are far ahead of Our Country - in allowing women
to lead. However it is only fair to say that we here in the
U S of A - we are a bit younger in years established - so that we
are now just coming into our own - in seeing women rising up and
taking charge.
Three women from our country - coulda and shoulda been leaders - but
the first one just wasn't born in the right year. I'm speaking of
First Lady Abigail Adams who - as I've said before - is thought to
be a person - had she lived today - most likely could have held the
honored position.
Now we know that Hillary Clinton could have done the job - but she came
with too much baggage. Just kidding - but I believe she would have done
the job competently - but it just wasn't to be.
And though I've never heard it mentioned that Eleanor Roosevelt could
have been President - she probably had the ability - but again - it
was just not the right time.
All three of these First Ladies - come to my mind when I think of
possibilities - for a Woman President.
And the following women WERE leaders of their country:
Indira Gandi ~ India
Golda Meir - Israel
Queen Victoria - Great Britain
Queen Elizabeth I and II - Great Britain
Margaret Thatcher - Great Britain
Eva Peron - Argentina
Angela Merkel - Germany
to name just a few
Womem have made their mark in this World and in History - it
just takes a little more time - and I feel they have to work
harder to obtain these positions.
But it is happening - and it should and could happen here.
