Features: With the curtain of the 21st century barely drawn, the world seemed to suddenly enter the "era of women." In Nigeria and Chile, women were elected as presidents; in Germany, a woman became the Chancellor; in France, South Korea, the United States, and other countries, many female politicians prepared to run for national leadership. In Ireland, Finland, Latvia, Mozambique, Bangladesh, New Zealand, the Philippines, and other nations, women also held the reins of power. Someone humorously suggested that the English word "History" should be changed to "Herstory." Before the age of 35, this pastor's daughter, who grew up in former East Germany, had no connection with politics. She was once a meticulous and rigid young physicist in a laboratory. She was unremarkable in appearance, not skilled in speech, and unadorned, standing among a group of distinguished, elderly men in power, she seemed just a crying little girl. What made her rise to become the Chancellor of a major country? What caused her to spark the "Merkel whirlwind" worldwide? This book presents the legendary life of Germany's "Chancellor" Angela Merkel.
