The US election is currently being touted as a sign that women can break the glass ceiling, however women have already broken that glass ceiling in 44 different countries around the world.

If Hillary Clinton is elected President of the United States it will be history made in the United States of America and not the world at large. Throughout its 240 year history, the United States has been ruled by men. Clinton hopes to change that - but other countries got there first.

So far, about 56 women have ruled over the affair of 44 countries around the world. See list of some of the women who have already broken the glass ceiling:

  • Helle Thorning-Schmidt, Prime Minister of Denmark
  • Yingluck Shinawatra, Prime Minister of Thailand
  • Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany
  • Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, President of Argentina
  • Dilma Rousseff, President of Brazil
  • Julia Gillard, Prime Minister of Australia
  • Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of Liberia
  • Sheik Hasina Wajed, Prime Minister of Bangladesh
  • Johanna Sigurdardottir, Prime Minister of Iceland
  • Laura Chinchilla, President of Costa Rica
  • Tarja Halonen, President of Finland
