This past Saturday, Chile got its first female president, Michelle Bachelet. A single mother, Socialist, and former political prisoner under the 17 year Pinochet dictatorship, Bachelet is the first mujer to be voted into office in South America who not the widow of a political leader and has built a career on her own. Bachelet, an agnostic, did not swear but promised to uphold the Chilean Constitution. Felicidades Michelle and felicidades Chile.
