Had Hillary Clinton won, she would have joined the UK’s Theresa May and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, helping achieve critical mass in the G7, while a female UN Secretary-General would have placed women at the helm of two of the world’s three biggest international organizations. It didn't happen, but what if it had?
WASHINGTON, DC – Before America and the world settle in firmly to the new Donald Trump-based reality, let’s take a little trip down the road not taken. Suppose we had woken up last Wednesday morning to a President-elect Hillary Clinton. And let’s say that, instead of former Portuguese Prime Minister António Guterres, New Zealand’s Helen Clark or Bulgaria’s Kristalina Georgieva had been picked to succeed Ban Ki-moon as United Nations Secretary-General.
Clinton would have joined the United Kingdom’s Theresa May and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, helping achieve critical mass in the G7. And a female UN Secretary-General would have placed women at the helm of two of the world’s three biggest international organizations (France’s Christine Lagarde already runs the International Monetary Fund).
With so many female leaders, we would have begun to answer the question: what happens when women run the world? Would the world be better for women? Would it even be different?
