"Mexico is famous for its macho culture. Women here didn’t win the right to vote for president until 1953 — three decades after their U.S. counterparts. As recently as nine years ago, there wasn’t a single female state governor.
Yet Mexico has just elected its first female president, Claudia Sheinbaum, in what was essentially a race between two women engineers."
#ClaudiaSheinbaum was elected #Mexico’s first female president in a landslide on Sunday, an official quick count of votes showed, cementing the dominance of the left-leaning Morena movement that over the past 6 years has upended the country’s political establishment.
Her victory stunned an opposition that’s accused Morena of weakening the country’s democratic institutions.
