It is notorious fact that a woman has to be twice as good as a man to be regarded as equal and be successful... your examples are extreme: all of those ladies were exceptional in their abilities and personalities (this statement does not mean I admire them for what they represent and policies they were implementing.. but I do admire them for what they achieved as strong leaders..).
