The European nation of Estonia has become the only country currently in the world led by women. It means that both the president and the prime minister of the country are women. Estonia achieved this feat after Prime Minister Kaja Kallas took office on January 26.
It should be noted that Estonia is the only country where both women leaders are elected by the people. New Zealand, Barbados, and Denmark are three other countries with female prime ministers and heads of state, but the latter in these countries are monarchs and therefore not elected.
Estonia's President Kersti Kaljulaid appointed the 15-member Cabinet of Prime Minister Kaja Kallas and it was approved by the lawmakers in the country's parliament. Kallas, who is from the centre-right Reform Party, is also the first female prime minister of the country. In 2016, Kalijulaid became the first female president of Estonia since its independence.
