Laura Chinchilla won more than the required 40 percent of votes to land the title as first woman president of Costa Rica. The contenders didn’t seem to even come close, gaining at the time of poll closing, only in the 20 percentile for their parties. It’s being called a landslide. Her platform she says is “security, security, and security.”

She breaks the ceiling and now enters the highest political step for women. And soon, we won’t even have to mention she’s a woman at all. It will be her record that will refer to instead of her gender.
