Women in history have proven that the “weaker sex” is capable of taking on the problems and difficulties that are considered the privileges of men. The question of whether a woman can hold high positions on an equal footing with a man, be able to twirl in intellectual circles, work in the highest positions in the political sphere, has become an age-old one. But until now, a woman political leader has been the exception to the rule rather than the norm.

Now the situation is changing. Women are winning one position after another in business, entrepreneurship, science. In almost all countries of the world, where women come to power, they prove that the “weaker sex” now has its own special social interests, that they are sometimes more efficient than men to work and more consistent in achieving their goals.

It is believed that discrimination is a natural phenomenon associated with the biological essence of women, which significantly limits the potential of their social activity. However, in Sweden, a woman may be a member of parliament and have 3-4 children, who are perfectly brought up in kindergartens with 5-6 people in a group. The Swedish Parliament has a special room for nursing mothers. In Finland, the president – Tarja Halonen – is a woman, the prime minister – a woman, the mayor of Helsinki – a woman. The main task of the state is the well-being of each inhabitant of the country. And a hundred years ago Finland was a weak undeveloped appendage of the Russian Empire.

Famous representatives of the “weaker sex”, who came into politics and successfully implemented it in the interests of their states. Among them are Margaret Thatcher (England), Mono Alyn (Sweden), Madeleine Albright (USA), Indira Gandhi (India), Benazir Bhutto (Pakistan), Gandhi Chiller (Greece), Mary Robinson (Ireland), GRU Harlem Brundtland (Norway), Princess Diana (England), Queen Beatrix (Holland), Queen Silvin (Sweden).

We can say the following about the activities of women politicians of the twenty-first century: Women have proved that the problems of the world are not only within the gritty, tough, critical, male minds, but also within the fragile, tender hearts of women. They say that women and politics are two incompatible things, but once again we are convinced of the contrary. In recent years there has been an increasing tendency for women to be more and more independent. They “lead, not follow,” working hard day after day to improve themselves.
