I’m writing a history of female heros and heroic female leaders based on certain characteristics
different from those percieved as heroic in most Men. There is a certain self centeredness and lust for glory, a tendency to be dominated by violence, xenophobia and an inability to care or understand the consequences known as blowback of their actions. Further, many men, considered to be the greatest leaders of their age were incapable of ruling during Peace time. Only by the promotion of War, opression, and sometimes genocide were they able to function effectively.
The world is headed for total destruction if Men who are only interested in promoting that kind of hero in the name of profit are left to their own low coverups and media control devices.
After all Women are the peace makers and men make war continually. The road to Peace is heroic not the road to war! Look at the worlwide influence of a true Peace Maker like Elanor Roosevelt. I’m going to profile about 25 American Women and 25 from other countries across the globe. A few female leaders will be acting in a time dominated by agression and nation building where reacting to curcumstances, war will be unavoidable. However all will have one thing in common. Resistance to their leadership and beleif in their abilities from the Men in Power of their age. Although, hampered by such regressive thinking of men, each of these Women will reach some of the greatest pinacles of success of any leader of the country she leads. Through great personal sacrafice she will leave major and lasting benifits to her country and in many instances, only to be forced back down into her perceived place by dogma and chauvinisim and spin doctoring of the historic record. How far forward have we come to be so far backward today especially in arguably the worst place to be a female in terms of equality in a modern Democracy. As a female this is not my greatest country and it is a fact. To State the obvious is as Democratic as it gets. We have sat silent for far to long while the ones who took power have taken it away from the people of this country, especially women, like the low life theives that they are from the dead shadows of the dark side, they demand that we call what they have done patriotic. Oppression and agression will never be Democratic or Patriotic
or Heroic to any resonable, intelligent, aware, and pragmatic female. Giving instead of taking is heroic, Generosity istead of greed is heroic, and the truth instead of lies and secrets is
heroic. For a women, no matter where you are or what era in time you live speaking the truth almost always becomes a revolutionary act. Worse, in the world today pointing out the obvious
injustices and a call to change injustice for women can get you branded as a heretic in the good old enlightened U.S.A.
