Suffragette is a term which comes from the word suffrage, which means the right to vote. I use the term of modern suffragettes regarding these women because they have brought women way beyond voting and into actually becoming equally powerful as men. The following are female world leaders currently in power. These women are the role models for the future female world leaders. Please add any names which I may have inadvertently failed to include.
