Women in Chile

This is a country where divorce was only legalised last year, and socially it's been far from progressive for women, but it seems as though Chile could be about to become one of still only a handful of countries in the world to have a female leader. Michelle Bachelet, socialist, single mum, defies the stereotypes in a region that has long denigrated women and still today often treats them as objects and second-class citizens. I went to a press conference with her today and she's a pretty charismatic, mind-blowingly chatty human being.
