For a long time in Italy's history, women never had a chance to hold a position that involved leadership. This is not to say that women couldn’t have any kind of job. The fact is that, even though they were capable of doing so, they were never given the opportunity. That was an era when women were expected to stay at home and take care of the kids. They were also expected to reinforce the idea that they were not as capable as men. However, we have come a long way since then. Despite being an extremely patriarchal society, Italy has still managed to elect women to be in leadership positions. The most recent one being Giorgia Meloni, who was recently elected as the President of the Brothers of Italy party. It is not a surprise that a woman was finally able to get into a leadership position in Italy. In fact, women are now getting more opportunities in politics than ever before.
