Women's Crossroads

Good news for a change! Michelle Bachelet of the center- left coalition won the presidential elections in Chile today, capturing 53.49 % of the vote. I'll find out more about Michelle Bachelet in the next few days and report in more depth, but for now--this is welcome news indeed for Latin America. I hope Bachelet will prove to be a strong and humanitarian president, on par with Lula in Brazil, Evo in Bolivia, and Chavez in Venezuela. Now if only we could get Rigoberta Menchu elected in Guatemala!
