Dilma Rousseff, President  of Brazil<img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iTGXYFIkfkA/TO0coCp3UsI/AAAAAAAAdps/gwkOjqJl390/s1600/08+Dilma-Rousseff.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />“I would like parents who have daughters to look straight in their eyes  and tell them: ‘Yes, a woman can,’” Dilma Rousseff said following her  victory in Brazil’s runoff election. When she takes the reins of the  world’s fourth largest democracy on Jan. 1, Rousseff will become the  South American country’s first female president. Her win, a victory for  would-be women leaders everywhere, was also a nod to outgoing President  Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who handpicked her for the job. As Lula’s  former chief of staff, Rousseff promised to carry on the outgoing and  overwhelmingly popular leader’s work. “I offer special thanks to  President Lula,” she said in her election night speech. “I will know how  to honor his legacy. I will know how to consolidate and go forward with  his work.”</blockquote>
