Women across the world have broken the glass ceiling and stereotypes, to go on to lead their countries. Read on to find out more about them…
Slovakia elected its first woman President recently — one of the many firsts that countries across the world are witnessing. The number of women leaders across the world is growing, albeit slowly. Women’s representation in national parliaments has increased from 11.8% in 1998 to to 23.5% in 2018, globally.
This is good news not just for the cause of gender equality and empowerment, but for citizens as well.
“Women demonstrate political leadership by working across party lines…even in the most politically combative environments — and by championing issues of gender equality, such as the elimination of gender-based violence, parental leave and childcare, pensions, gender-equality laws and electoral reform,” states UN Women.
The reasons that there are fewer women leaders in either politics or business are the same: bias, work-life imbalance, and a lack of opportunities and female role models.
Over the years, there have been women who have overcome these obstacles to go on to lead their countries.
Take a look at a few of them:

Scientists have unveiled the first ever picture of a black hole, proving black holes do exist. Eager to see the picture and discover more about these star-devouring space objects? Click on to read more…
You are looking at the first-ever image of a black hole. Stunning, isn’t it? The fuzzy doughnut-shaped ring of gas and dust traces the outline of Powehi, a supermassive black hole, at the heart of the Messier 87 galaxy, 55 million light years away from the earth. With a mass that is 6.5 billion times that of the Sun, this one is humongous. The image was captured by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), a network of eight linked telescopes, and unveiled by scientists on April 10.
Scientists have predicted the existence of black holes since the 18th century. Though they knew for a fact that supermassive black holes lurk at the centre of galaxies and smaller ones found all over the universe, they had not seen one or captured one in photographs until now. Before this, every image of a black hole we saw online or in print was an illustration. This is the first direct visual evidence that prove the existence of black holes.
The Event Horizon Telescope also focused on Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the centre of the Milky Way. The image of Sagittarius A* is expected to be released later.
What are black holes?
Karl Schwarzschild was the first to use Einstein’s theory of general relativity to show that black holes could indeed form. In 1967, a physicist named John Archibald Wheeler came up with the term “black hole”.
