Famous Female Leaders: Wu Zetian to Benazir Bhutto

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. While many modern societies are patriarchal by design, it would be a gross misconception to assume that all major political leaders are, therefore, men. On the contrary, many countries around the world include women with profound impact and lasting influence among their list of leaders past and present. This book introduces ten of the most significant female leaders throughout history: Wu Zetian, Hatshepsut, Elizabeth I, Catherine II, Queen Victoria, Indira Gandhi, Golda Meir, Margaret Thatcher, Janet Jagan and Benazir Bhutto.
