Indira Gandhi of India, Benazir Bhutto of Pakistan and Corazon Aquino of the Philippines, the three women presented in this informative paper, achieved power and fame in the mid- to-late 20th Century. As strong and courageous women living in male-dominated cultures, they broke barrier after barrier to achieve their leadership roles. Betsy Warren treats each woman's struggle individually and then summarizes their achievements as a group. It is ironic that as we enter the second decade of the 21st Century all three countries currently are ruled by males.
