The women of Rwanda have TROUNCED us, ladies. Yeah, they might be from a small east african country, and there was that whole “genocide thing” (um, that killed maybe half a million people), but these women know how to pull it up in the toughest of times. The Washington Post reported this:

“Here, women are not only driving the economy — working on construction sites, in factories and as truck and taxi drivers — they are also filling the ranks of government.

Women hold a third of all cabinet positions, including foreign minister, education minister, Supreme Court chief and police commissioner general. And Rwanda’s parliament last month became the first in the world where women claim the majority — 56 percent, including the speaker’s chair.”

Women of Rwanda, you officially kick ass.
