Angela Merkel is a succesful example in how to link feminity and leadership.

With her no nonsense style (she always inconspicuously dressed in a decent trouser suit with a colored jacket on dark trousers), the physicist with a PhD relied on her tactical insight, her infinite curiosity and computer-like brain. 

For 16 years she was 'Mutti' of Germany, very influencial in the European Union and became the most powerful woman in the world.
