It is not a new idea that women can function well in positions of authority? There have been many women who played crucial roles in leadership positions throughout history. The history of the Cherokee Indians contains several examples of women who have risen to positions of influence in their society! Such women were named "Beloved Women" by the tribe. A Cherokee woman could, "take her husband's place in war." and be given the name "War Woman" as a result. (Champagne 102) In recent history, a woman has even been elected Chief! Wilma Mankiller has earned much respect for her leadership of the Western Cherokee during the 80s and 90s. She has significant support of her people as evidenced by her successful re-election that garnered 83 percent of the vote. (Champagne 104) Mankiller is credited with successfully managing and improving the Cherokee economy, with increasing industry, and with leading rebuilding efforts that have increased the Western Cherokee people's overall quality of life. (Champagne 105) After learning more about Wilma Mankiller, can anyone question a woman's capacity to be a strong and effective leader.
