[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] ^ It's as I said before, leadership roles, particularly in the political realm, have been traditionally masculine [i]because[/i] defense was a large aspect of that role. Political leaders in most societies of the ancient world were also warriors who demonstrated the ability to protect their people. This is not to say women had no leadership roles at all as feminist historians like Max Dashu have pointed out women did lead in other spheres of society and culture but unfortunately these tend to be ignored by mainstream history for the more overt and in-your-face domineering political/military spheres that many are all too familiar with. That's why it seems like the only time we hear about women in leadership in history is only in politics as queens and more recently prime ministers and presidents or as warriors. The vast majority of females who were spiritual or community leaders get no attention or are mere footnotes. [/QB][/QUOTE]
