On Tuesday, Sept. 6, Liz Truss turned Primer Minister of England. Do you know that she is the third girl to steer Britain within the final 50 years? She follows Margaret Thatcher in 1979 and Theresa Might in 2016.

France too has a feminine premier (Elisabeth Borne). International locations as far and broad as Finland, (Sanna Marin), New Zealand (Jacinda Ardern), Serbia (Ana Brnabić), Singapore (Halimah Yacob), Iceland (Katrín Jakobsdóttir), Ethiopia (Sahle-Work Zewde), Georgia (Salome Zourabichvili), Namibia (Saara Kuugongelwa) and Togo (Victoire Tomegah Dogbé) at the moment have feminine premiers.

It's noteworthy to me that in a rustic that professes equality between women and men, voters wouldn't have seized the chance to elect competent, caring elected officers who additionally occur to be ladies. 

Curiously, the U.S. additionally has a historical past of being reluctant to taking a stand for ladies’s rights. The Equal Rights Modification, the proposed modification to america Structure designed to ensure equal authorized rights for all Americans no matter intercourse, stays a want.

Let our legal guidelines mirror our said intentions, and let’s solid our ballots for excellent ladies who will guarantee America’s greatness into the long run.
