A woman president? Many American women have bravely but unsuccessfully run for President of the United States: Victoria Woodhull, Shirley Chisholm and Geraldine Ferraro to name a few. But when an American woman named Janet Jagan ran for president of Guyana, she actually won.
Janet Jagan was a trained nurse from Chicago. In 1943, when she was twenty-three, she went to Guyana to work in the dental(牙科) office of Dr. Cheddi Jagan. Janet Jagan immediately became involved in the Guyanan labor movement, and in 1946 helped to found the Women's Political and Economic Organisation(W.P.E.O.) and the Political Aflairs Committee(P.A.C.), and began editing the P.A.C. newspaper. In 1950 she co-founded the People's Progressive Party along with her husband, Cheddi Jagan. This party was instrumental in achieving Guyana's independence from British rule.

The People's Progressive Party had refused to cooperate with the government for many years to protest the dishonest control of elections. In 1992, after the first free presidential election, Dr. Cheddi Jagan became president of Guyana.
In 1997 President Jagan died, and Janet Jagan ran successfully for president. On Dec. 19, 1997. Janet Jagan was sworn in as the first woman president of the Republic of Guyana.
