Can a woman be as strong as a man in times of peace and war?

     There have been many doubts over womens ability to lead. There are not many women in positions of power yet in recent decades we have seen more women in leadership positions. Of course women can be as strong leaders as men. They may even give a new meaning to the whole concept of leading. Traditionally, women have been in the role of homemakers and have been responsible for raising children and keeping the family unit strong. Through this role women have aquired many skills such as planning/organizing, building and balancing relationships, and decision making. All these are characteristics of a strong leader.
     Historically as a homemaker women have been organizing and planning the household for centuries. They have developed so many skills on the small scale of a home, that when they go out into the greater society they can take these skills to a position of leadership. Women who are leaders in government or politics have to make plans and organize stratigies in order to be good at their jobs.
     Leaders who are successful are often the ones who know how to have good relationships with their co workers and supporters. Within the family, women are very experienced at building and balancing relationships. Even when women are young girls its really important to them to have good relationships with their friends and family. On the other hand, boys at the same age would prefer to run around with toy guns and pretend they're at war. Maybe if there were more women in power in the government then there would be fewer wars around the world. This is because women have other ways of solving conflicts.
     To be a successful leader you are always making desicions. Leaders have to take initiative and can't be indecisive. If women trust their abilities, more women can get into decison making positions.
     In conclusion, I believe its really great to see more woman taking more powerful positions. With their leadership they are setting an example of strength and becoming role models for girls. Hopefully, there will be more of a balance in leadership between women and men in the future.
