Women in politics in America have made extraordinary strides to break the glass ceiling barrier and we believe that one day, they will. With that being said, we know that the political world, all over the globe, has many talented and respected female politicians in various positions. Not only that but many of these women also happen to be quite photogenic so we’ve pulled together a list of female politicians who not only do exceedingly well in their jobs but who are also as gorgeous as can be.
Tulsi Gabbard – United States of America
Meet the Democratic Representative from Hawaii, Tulsi Gabbard, who has been the United States Representative for Hawaii’s 2nd congressional district since 2013. Currently, she’s a front runner to become the next Secretary of State. Now wouldn’t that be a vision?

Anna-Maria Galojan – Estonia
We won’t go too in depth here as Galojan is currently a political refugee in London due to the fact that she was caught “embezzling euros through one of her charities, the European Movement Estonia.” You think she’s spending her days offering plumbing services so she doesn’t go crazy from boredom?

Sethrida Geagea – Lebanon
Let’s see here, Sethrida Geagea is a powerful and popular Lebanese politician and MP who received her Bachelor’s degree in Political Science. All of these experiences went on to help her strengthen the Lebanese army in the face of Syrian forces. Not bad for someone who is as equally as gorgeous as she is intelligent.

Alina Kabaeva – Russia
What is it with politicians being Olympic champions first? I mean, Alina Kabaeva actually has 2 Olympic medals, 25 European Championship medals, and over a dozen World Championship medals. And if that wasn’t enough for her, she stepped into the political scene as a representative for the United Russia party. Plus, since February of 2008, Kabaeva has been the Chairman of the National Media Group’s Public Council. And we’re fairly certain she hasn’t had to worry about pest control a day in her life.

Let’s start off by saying that in 2000, she won the Miss Singapore Universe pageant, yeah, we get it. Olsen is also an actress and a TV host, therefore she has no problems hiring someone to sort out replacement windows as we’re sure she’s earned enough. Then in 2004, she was appointed in 2004 as a Nominated Member of Parliament (NMP), hence making her the youngest NMP at just 27. We weren’t joking when we said she’s generous considering she is a champion for people who have disabilities, she’s raising awareness for cervical cancer and AIDS, she’s a fighter for the environment and she works with at risk youth.

Luciana Leon (Luciana Milagros Leon Romero) comes from a very famous and political family, and this definitely explains why she started spearheading her political career at just 14 years old. Yes, she did go to the University of Lima and yes, she majored in politics.

Minnesota congresswoman, Michele Bachmann, may not have the best track record in the polls but she is certainly intelligent.

Yulia Tymoshenko is a fighter who lets nothing get in her way. She fought to become the first woman Prime Minister but unfortunately, she was sentenced to three years in prison for some odd numbered crimes.

Almost 20 years ago, back in the 1996 Summer Olympics, Lischka won the 50 meter Breaststroke relay – what have you done in the last 20 years? Maybe we’ll be lucky and she’ll marry Average Joe, the plumber or maybe not.

Michigan born and bred, Huma Abedin is a rock star.

Therefore, don’t think that just because she’s tiny that she’s a pushover. Esterfany is a massive part of the opposition that is pushing to impeach Dilma Rousseff, the President of Brazil. We can’t wait to see what she does next.
