In recent years, England has seen the rise of Margaret Thatcher, the longest serving prime minister. The current president of the Philippines is Corazon Aquino. Norway not only has a woman prime minister; the majority of the cabinet are also women. And the ROC produced its first woman cabinet member in 1988, Shirley Kuo.
就在最近十年，英國出現一位歷來任職最久的首相柴契爾夫人，菲律賓現任總統則是艾奎諾夫人；而挪威不但閣揆為女性，大多數閣員也是女英豪；我國則在一九八八年產生有史以來第一位女部長郭婉容。
