With all the talk about the possibility of the US making history by having it's first female president, I thought it would be interesting to bring up a fact exemplified in this article. Although it is amazing progress to have female leaders, I find it interesting that so many of them are related (daughters or wives) of former male leaders of those same countries. Maybe that's why I root so hard for Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf. Here's an interesting website that lists current female heads of state if you are interested in checking it out (and I hope you are)!
Interesting fact: There are 192 members of the United Nations and 2 independent states outside. 17 have got female leaders at the moment.
