A Diffferent Application of Leadership
Having been a Girl Scout for quite some time when I was younger, I happened to find this article on leadership in young girls. While leadership is a lifelong process, starting early makes a huge difference. I know I personally have leadership skills from the many things I did as a Scout. Female leadership in politics is not looked upon as favorably in our society (only 16.6% of Congress was female in 2011; 32 countries in the world have a female leader excluding the US), and so few girls choose to pursue a political career. There are also gender stereotypes involved. The article is quite long, but ties in some pop culture like Barbie for President and Legally Blonde 2: Red, White, and Blue. This goes to prove that leadership can truly be found in any setting and is not restricted to a certain age or gender.
