The six women below, whose photographs I posted here with the query as to who they might be produced some interesting responses.
Only one full name was produced, plus one Christian name, unsurprising really since these women are not household names here and for the most part do not have names that trip easily off the Kiwi tongue. Nevertheless these women all hold impotant positions in their homelands and are well known there. I strongly doubt that Helen Clark or John Key would be recognized in the Nations these women come from
You can place your cursor over each woman's photo to find out who she is, where she comes from and the position she holds.
Doris Leuthard, President of the Confederation, Switzerland
Dalia Grybauskaitė, President of Lithuania
Yulia Tymoshenko, Prime Minister, Ukraine
Jadranka Kosor, Prime Minister, Croatia
Mary McAleese, President, Republic of Ireland
Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir, Prime Minister, Iceland
