Unlike the first generation of Asian women leaders, who gained power primarily because of their familial connections, the emerging crop are strong, confident, and ready to take on the challenge of leading their nations on their own terms. Their followers appear to see in them harbingers, unjaded by history, of the change for which their societies are clamoring.
与借助家族势力登台的第一代亚洲女性领导人不同，新的一代更强势，更具自信，并准备用自己独有的方式来迎接领导国家的挑战。她们的追随者似乎将其视为没有历史包袱的预言家，并将为他们的社会带来渴望已久的变革。
