             On June 24, 2010, Julia Gillard (below left) was
             sworn in as Australia’s 27th prime minister, the
             first woman to hold the title. The fact that the first
             female governor-general, Quentin Bryce (below
             right), performed the honour made it a particularly
             powerful moment. Across the ditch, New Zealand’s
             Jacinda Ardern (right) has since reimagined the role
             of PM. Aside from having a baby while in office, her
             compassionate leadership has made her a global
             icon. And who can forget German Chancellor
             Angela Merkel (bottom) famously staring down
             President Trump at the 2018 G7 Summit, while
             surrounded by the world’s most powerful men?
