Female presidents

Here´s an article about Chile´s President Michelle Bachelet. It´s been interesting to live in a very "macho" society run by a female president. She has some interesting things to say, especially about women in politics. It will be interesting to see how Hillary Clinton fares. She´s up against a lot of the same stereotypes and double-standards that Bachelet has no chance of overcoming.

Oh, and here´s a satirical article about Clinton that gets at the same ideas.
