Re: Europe (4.00 / 3)

When I read this, I was wondering how many female Presidents are there now in Europe?

Only a week ago a woman was sworn in in Croatia, now Lithaunia, Iceland and of course Germany with Merkel.

Is there still a female President in Finland?

And are there any others?

Re: Europe (none / 0)

Ireland has had two female Presidents in a row - Mary Robinson and Mary McAleese - in office for almost 20 years now in total. However the Office is largely ceremonial rather than Executive although she does have the right to refer any legislation to the Supreme Court to test its constitutionality.
