On December 10, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner will be inaugurated as Argentina's first female president. The senator and first lady will join 11 other women who currently serve as their countries' presidents or prime ministers, including Michelle Bachelet in neighboring Chile. But while women worldwide are making gains in all levels of government, the most recent Pew Global Attitudes survey of 46 countries and the Palestinian territories finds that publics around the world express mixed opinions about women and political leadership.

I think it's somewhat perplexing that women who are in leading positions are usually expected to fulfill both male and female roles. Both nurturing, warm, decisive and calculating. Men on the other hand are not in any way expected to fulfill both roles, yet women tent to be looked upon as cold with almost psychopathic characteristics if they act only like many men would.
