Women in Politics

Since 1920 American women have had the right to vote but their political roles have been minimal. Not until 1984 Geraldine Ferraro of New York to run for vice-president, then many women started to participate in politics and increasingly higher positions such as in 1990 Mary Robinson was elected president of Ireland and Violeta Chamorro, of Nicaragua. Australia's first female premier was Carmen Lawrence of Western Australia (1990), and Canada's was Rita Johnston of British Columbia (1991).

Women have been able to reach high positions not only in the porlitic, but also in many other works, but I feel that we took a lot of time to grow because we haven´t relatively long time getting this kind of posts.
