Women In Leadership

The history of women in leadership roles always speaks of struggle and hard work, this one's no different - Queen Elizabeth I is made of the stuff that a good novel's protagonist is made of. Growing up in the Tudor dynasty, with the murder of her mother at an early age and her father's death soon after, plots being etched against her by her half sister, being imprisoned and almost executed, the Virgin Queen (as she is popularly known as) rose to the throne on November 17th 1558.

Her rule bestowed upon England its golden era and saw it rise in fame and money. Her intelligence, wit, determination and courage made it possible for her to turn England from a small insignificant country to a super power, a force to be reckoned with. Her reign was termed the 'Elizabethan Age' for it being the absolute pinnacle of literary celebration and producing literary scholars like William Shakespeare, Edmund Spenser, Ben Jonson and others.http://www.buzzle.com/articles/women-in-leadership-roles.html
