OF FALLEN HEROES AND VISIONARIES: a tale of female politicians

Today I am not focusing on the dynamics of Female politicians versus Male politicians. Rather, I want to salute the female politicians, both dead and alive, for the work that they did and are doing respectively. This is something that came to me because of the recent celebrations of International Women's day. To begin with, closer to home I want to give honor to a woman I respect so much, the late Sally Mugabe.Sally Mugabe was elected Deputy Secretary for the women's league for the ZANU PF party in 1978. Shewas also elected Secretary General of the ZANU PF women's league at the party congress of 1989. Sally Mugabe founded the Zimbabwean Child  Survival Movement, which was meant to focus on helping struggling children in Zimbabwe. Sally Mugabe also launched the Zimbabwean Women's cooperative in the UK in 1986 and supported AKINA MAMA WA AFRIKA, a London based African women's organization focusing on development and women's issues in Africa and the United Kingdom. Despite being the wife of  President, Sally was able to have a political career that was independent of her husband's influences, a career that assisted many and changed many people's lives for the better. May her soul forever more rest in peace. Another amazing politician is Michelle Obama. Though she is the current first Lady of America she is one hundred percent African and hence she is an African Female politcian. Michelle Obama advocates for education for all but especially for women and among many great deed she had done are her lets move campaign, for fighting child hood obesity, and Joining forces, for mobilising support for service members and their families. She is a good example of independent Female politicians taking an initiative to change the world one foot print at a time.
