20th-century Women Political Leaders

Claire Groff-Price

Global Profiles provides current, thorough coverage of some of the most significant figures in history. Each volume offers eight to thirteen essays on individuals who are associated with a particular movement, event, or vocation.

Each volume begins with a thematic introduction. The profile of each individual includes essential biographical information, a description of the subject’s critical achievements and contributions, and an assessment of the individual’s significance in the broad context of world history.

Here are twelve women who have held positions of political leadership in the second half of the twentieth century.

Profiles:
— Golda Meir– Indira Gandhi– Eva Duarte Peron– Margaret Thatcher– Violeta Chamorro– Corazon Aquino– Winnie Madikizela Mandela– Gro Harlem Brundtland– Barbara Jordan– Wilma Mankiller– Aung San Suu Kyi– Benazir Bhutto.
