A great great woman/
The twentieth century is full of political women
who have more balls and honor than 99% of the craven
girly-men who run for and get elected to office.
Need I name them?
A Marcos henchman killed her husband, who was deemed to be
a threat to his rule, and Cory Aquino took over.

Seems like the female political leaders of the 20th Century were of a much better stock than the ones we have today.

My Filipina sis-in-law was at EDSA in 86’ and one of her uncles was one of the military officers who sided against Marcos. She remembered him saying when she was kid “if I die, at least you know who killed me (Marcos)” to the entire clan before going into “coup mode”.
