Cristina Fernández de  Kirchner, President of Argentina<img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iTGXYFIkfkA/TO0cpVEWzzI/AAAAAAAAdpw/ASu2VIM0M4M/s1600/09+Cristina-Fern%25C3%25A1ndez-de-Kirchner.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Elected President in November 2007 (thereby succeeding her husband  Néstor), Fernández has proven she is her own woman. Dismissively  referred to as “Cristina” by some members of Argentina’s macho political  elite, Fernández has survived a standoff with the country’s powerful  farming lobby, a fallout with the U.S. over a suitcase allegedly  containing illegal campaign contributions and a series of high-profile  economic-policy spats that culminated in the ousting of the governor of  Argentina’s Central Bank earlier this year. With her striking appearance  and polarizing rhetoric, she inevitably draws comparisons with former  First Lady Eva Perón.</blockquote>
