clipped from: www.cavalierdaily.com A WOMAN may be the next president of the United States? For a growing part of the world, news of this possibility will elicit little more than a collective, "So what?" Last week, Argentina elected its first ever democratically elected woman president, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. Last year, Chile elected Michelle Bachelet, a surgeon and defense minister to former Chilean president Ricardo Lagos. And don't forget Angela Merkel, the first woman chancellor of Germany elected in 2005. Women have every reason to rejoice and celebrate female leadership on a scale never before seen.. But this novelty will soon give way to women being viewed as just another class of politician, for good and bad.
There's nothing wrong with women feeling a sense of pride and excitement as they watch Clinton steadily press forward, no matter how vicious her critics become. From one woman to another, "You go, girl."
