The future of women...

I often have wondered what the future of women beholds. Will we strive to excell in politics? Will we stand up for our believes? Will be President of the United States? Well, anything is possible. I am not trying to push that women need to be leaders of our country, but I am saying if a woman is well qualified, then yes..why not? Well, I will tell you why. Due to the fact that we do live in such a society that men are getting higher paying salaries, often times for the same job description, then I do not see a women being President of the United States. We have come a long way, take a look at how far we have come...... Not so much just in the states, but look at many of the women in history...(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woman)

Women leaders in history
The following are examples of rulers in history. In contrast to the above mentioned leaders in electoral political systems they were hereditary monarchs, as were other rulers of their day.
In ancient history:
Hatsheput
Theodora (6th century)
In the modern era:
Elizabeth I
Maria Theresa of Austria
Catherine II
Victoria
In addition to national rulers there have been women that have had a significant effect on the welfare of many people:
Harriet Tubman

Looks pretty convincing to me. Perhaps I could change my mind, who knows Ms. Kerby, mayber you will be the first female President! Really. You would be great... This does give women great confidence, or at least it does me. It is like race and other aspects that society entitles for one to have stereotypes, so let's prove society wrong!
