South Korea's First Female President

Park Geun-hye was recently inaugurated as South Korea's first female president. This is an interesting article that discusses women being accepted into leadership roles as well as Park Geun-hye's political detachment on women's rights. Park Geun-hye's father was a former president of South Korea. He is quite controversial for he grew Korea's economy tremendously but also abused his power. It may be interesting to speculate about her father's influence in the recent election as well as the motives for her detachment on women's rights.
