Abstract

Elected in January 2006, Michelle Bachelet is Chile’s first woman President. Her election marked a milestone in the process of national reform, from dictatorship under the brutal Pinochet regime to democracy. Her father was tortured to death by Pinochet’s secret police. She and her mother were also imprisoned, but managed to escape rape, torture and murder, unlike thousands of less fortunate women.
