The late President Janet Jagan was the first female President and served this country with distinction....

Burnham and Chung were alive when their portraits were placed on the walls of the National Assembly.

Should they not put an asterisk next to the portraits of Hoyte and Banham, since they got their positions by crook? This is what many suggested for baseball players in the steroid era, i.e., you cheat, you get an asterisk. Good enough for baseball hall of fame, good enough for Parliament Building, Guyana.
just sayin'

Women Prime Ministers and Presidents: 20th Century

Global Women Political Leaders

By Jone Johnson Lewis,

How many women have served as Presidents or Prime Ministers in the 20th century? How many can you name?

I've listed women leaders of countries both large and small. Many names will be familiar; some will be unfamiliar to all but a few readers.

Some were highly controversial; some were compromise candidates. Some presided over peace; others over war. Some were elected; some were appointed. Some served briefly; others were elected; one, though elected, was prevented from serving.

Many followed into office their fathers or husbands; others were elected or appointed on their own reputations and political contributions. One even followed her mother into politics, and her mother served a third term as prime minister, filling the office left vacant when the daughter took office as president!

Follow the links on the names below, to find biographies, news articles, speeches and background information to learn more about these pioneer women leaders.

45. Vaira Vike-Freiberga, Latvia -- President, 1999-2007.

46. Tarja Kaarina Halonen, Finland -- President, 2000-.

I've included Halonen because, by most reckonings, the year 2000 is actually part of the 20th century. (The year "0" didn't exist, so a century starts with the year "1" - or so the logic goes.) As the 21st century arrived, yet another was added: Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo - President of the Philippines, sworn in on January 20, 2001. Mame Madior Boye became Prime Minister in Senegal in March of 2001. Megawati Sukarnoputri, daughter of founding head of state Sukarno, was selected as Indonesia's fifth president in 2001 after losing in 1999. Likely many others will be on a list of Women Presidents and Prime Ministers for the 21st century. I've limited this list, however, to the history of women heads of state for the 20th century, and will not add anyone who took office after 2001.
