Not a perfect tribute, but a tribute nonetheless for National Women's History Month.

Food for thought: Martha Stewart goes to prison and Edward Liddy gets - BONUSES???

1. Thanks!

I liked the fact that this showed women leaders from the whole world, not just a narrow range of countries; and also that it included powerful and competent women leaders from long-ago history - in office through heredity not democracy, but the same was true of men!

Also that it was honest about the range of leaders and did not sanitize or stereotype women leaders. Women should be well-represented leaders because they represent 50% of the population - not because of special feminine qualities (they can be just as warlike as anyone else, for example!). I must admit, however, that I'm glad I wasn't eating when Maggie Thatcher appeared on the screen.

There are great women leaders - and there are very bad ones, same as men. A fair shake at life is the liberty and freedom people of all groups desire as they stand up for themselves.
