Thanks for posting this Chatty. I missed this in the news.

I don't know if you ladies know, but the Germans voted a female Chancellor, for the first time in German history. (It's the same thing as a President, just another word).
Although I don't agree with all of Chancellor Merkel's views, I admire her deeply. She's broken the ice for many other female politicians to follow. She holds her stand in the overpowering male politics, without loosing her feminine charms. It's like walking a tightrope for these women at the top. They have to keep proving themselves to others; balancing ' being tough' with 'their tactful feminine insight'.
