ʻO ka mōʻaukala, nui nāʻano o nā kāne a me nā wāhine ma kaʻohana, ka nohona pili politika a me nā māhele politika. I nā manawa a pau, loaʻa nā kāne i ka hana kaumaha kaumaha, loaʻa kālā, kālai'āina. Ua lawe nā wāhine i kā lākou mau keiki i ka hānaiʻana i nā keiki, ka hana o ka home, ka hoʻonohonohoʻana o ke ola. ʻO ke kiʻi o ke kāne e like me ka mea kōkua a me ke kiʻi o kahi wahine e mālama ana i ka mea ahi, he kaulaʻulaʻula ia i nā moʻolelo o ka honua nei. ʻO keʻano o ke kanaka, he mau helehelena paʻakikī wale nō ia aʻaʻole makemake nui i nā hana a kaʻahahui e kau ai iā lākou.
ʻO ka mea i haʻi muaʻia i ka moʻolelo o ka honua e pili ana i kahi wahine i loko o nā'elemu, i ola a hiki i kēia lā, pili i kahi kenekuliaʻumikumamālima haneli. ʻO ka wahine wahine mua ka wahine Mō'īwahineʻo Hatshepsut. ʻO ke au o ka noho aliʻiʻana o ke mō'ī wahine, e hōʻikeʻia ana e ka hoʻokele waiwai o ka nohona waiwai, ka pilikanaka, a me ka moʻomeheu. Ua kūkuluʻiaʻo Hatshepsut he mau monuments ma ka'āina a puni, a ua hanaʻia nā hale i nā hale i hoʻohioloʻia e ka poʻe lanakila. Wahi a ka hoʻomana oʻAigupita kahiko,ʻo ke aliʻi ka lani i iho i lalo i ka honua. Uaʻike nā kānakaʻAigupita i kahi kanaka wale nō e noho aliʻi ai e ka moku'āina. Ma muli o ia mea, pono wale nōʻo Hatshepsut eʻaʻahu wale i nāʻaʻahu o ke kāne. He mea koʻikoʻi kēia wahine palupalu i loko o ke kulekele o ka moku'āina, akā no kēia mea, ua ponoʻo ia e mōhai i kona ola pono'ī. Ma hope aku, ua hui pinepine nā wāhine ma ke poʻo o ka moku'āina - nā mō'īwahine, nā wahine wahine, nā mō'īwahine, nā kamāliʻiwahine.
ʻO kahi wahine o ke kenekulia he iwakāluakumamākahi, e like me nā luna kahiko,ʻaʻole pono e hoʻoikaika nui e komo i ka noho aupuniʻana o ka moku'āina. Inā i ka manawa kahiko e hūnāʻo Queen Hatshepsut i kāna kāne, i ka manawa hou,ʻike mau nā wāhine i nā luna, nā mō'ī, nā kuhina nui a me nā pelekikena. Me ka hoʻomaumokala a me ka hakakāʻana no ke kaulikeʻana i nā pono me nā kāne, he mea paʻakikī nā kālai'āina no nā wāhine o kēia wā. He nui nā wāhine i loko o nā'elemu i hoʻohuli i ka hilinaʻi. No laila, pono i nā 'elele o ka wahineʻoni ke hana nui i mea e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ai i ko lākou kūlana a me ko lākou mākaukau.
ʻO ka wahine mua i lanakila ma mua o ke Kuhina Nuiʻo Sirimavo Bandaranaike. Ma hope o ka lanakilaʻana i nā koho balota i ka makahiki 1960 ma ka mokuʻo Sri Lanka, ua kākoʻoʻia a hōʻoiaʻiaʻo Sirimavo e nā wāhine he nui. I loko o nā makahiki o ka administration o Bandaranaike, ua hoʻokōʻia nā hana kūkala o kaʻoihana waiwai i ka'āina. Ua hele mai kēia wahine kālai'āina i ka mana i nā manawa he pinepine a ua hoʻihoʻiʻia i 2000 i ka 84 o kona mau makahiki.
ʻO ka wahine mua i koho i ka pelekikena,ʻo Estela Martinez de Perron, lanakila i nā koho balota i ka makahiki 1974 ma'Atelika. Ua lilo kēia lanakila Estela iʻanoʻano "'ōmaʻomaʻo" no nā wāhine he nui i makemake e komo i ka nohona politika o ko lākou'āina. Ma muli o ia i ka makahiki 1980, ua laweʻo Wigdis Finnbogadottir i ka pelesidena, a ua loaʻaʻo ia i ka koho koho nui ma nā koho balota ma Iceland. Mai ia manawa, ua hoʻokōʻia ka hana politika ma nā māhele he nui, a me ka nohoʻana o nā wāhine ma lalo o 10% o nā noho ma nā moku'āina o ka moku'āina i nā manawa hou. ʻO nā wahine kaulana loa o ko kākou manawa,ʻo Margaret Thatcher, Indira Gandhi, Angela Merkel, Condoleezza Rice.
Hoʻopili nā poʻe kālai'āina i kēia kiʻi o ka "Iron Lady". ʻAʻole lākou e hōʻailona i ko lākou wahine a me kā lākou maikaʻi, akā, e hāpai ana i ka nānāʻana i kā lākou mau meaʻike.
He mea pono anei i ka wahine ke komo i ka hana politika o ka moku'āina? Ua palekana nā wāhine a me ka mana? A hiki i kēia wā,ʻaʻohe pane paneʻole i kēia mau nīnau paʻakikī. Akā inā koho ka wahine i kēiaʻano hana no ia iho, a laila, ua mākaukauʻo ia no ka hōʻole, a no ka hilinaʻiʻole, a no ka nui o ka hana. Eia kekahi,ʻaʻole pono e hoʻopoina i nā kulekele wāhine e pili ana i ka manaʻo wahine nui - e lilo i wahine aloha a makuahine.
