On July 21, 1960, Sirimawo Bandaranaike became the first female Prime Minister of Sri Lanka
65 years ago today, on July 21, 1960 (June 28, 1960), Sirimawo Bandaranaike became the first female Prime Minister of Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka's World's First Female Prime Minister July 21, 1960 - Sirimawo Bandaranaike became the first female Prime Minister of Sri Lanka, and she was also elected as a female national leader for the first time in the world. In 1960, when the world's first female Prime Minister Sirimawo Bandaranaike was born in Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon), people would never have imagined that, starting with her, the rise of female heads of Asian countries to the throne of power would be out of control. In less than 40 years, there have been nine all-powerful female leaders in Asian politics. After her husband was assassinated in 1959, Mrs. Bandaranaike stirred up the leadership and opened the way for women to enter politics. She ran the country with the philosophy of a housewife: "Don't just go to one shop owner to buy something, either go to all the bosses or don't buy it from any one boss." "When two dogs fight, don't intervene, let them bite each other!" This simple philosophy worked, but she was shy from now on. There is a large pit in Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka, left by the assassination of the prime minister. Through the political smoke, we can appreciate her noble and indomitable beauty. She herself has dedicated her life to this beauty. In recent years, she has successfully promoted her daughter to the political arena. She has become the most visible banner for women in politics in modern times. On October 10, 2000, the world's first democratically elected female prime minister, Mrs. Sirimawo Bandaranaike, former prime minister of Sri Lanka and chairman of the Liberal Party, passed away at the age of 84. She was elected chairman of the Liberal Party in May 1960 and won the general election in July. She served as Prime Minister and Minister of Defense and Foreign Affairs, Propaganda and Broadcasting. She has visited China five times. Since she began, there have been female compatriots active in the political arena, and women's liberation has been greatly reflected in politics.
