Hello welcome back to my blog today I will be sharing to you my Biography It is about Helen Clark hope you enjoy.
Helen Clark
“Girl’s can do anything. We do do anything and we expect to be treated as equals”.
Helen Clark was born on the 26 of February in Waipa District. With her parents Margaret McMurray, and George Clark and her 3 younger sisters.
Helen Clark was the first female to get elected for prime minister of New Zealand.
Before this, Helen Clark was educated at Epsom Girls' Grammar School and she graduated, from the University of Auckland, with a Bachelor of Arts in 1971. She majored in politics at university and her thesis focused on rural political behavior and representation.
Helen was the 37th Prime minister for New Zealand and the first female to get elected for Prime Minister. She was elected on 5th of December 1999 and was Prime Minister from 1999 till 2008.
She was the 5th longest Prime Minister which was a total of 8 years and 350 days. She was the first Women elected for Prime minister in New Zealand. After her 8 years of being Prime minister she was known as the 20th most powerful women in the world.
One of her greatest moments is when it was John key vs Helen for the spot of Prime Minister.
Helen Clark lead the party Labor and became the largest party in parliament from 1999 to 2008. Helen became the second woman to serve as Prime Minister of New Zealand, and the first to have won office at an election. She also served as the Minister for Arts, throughout her premiership.
Plus married to Peter Davis in 1981.
They way I think she shows greatness by becoming the first female Prime Minister to get elected for New Zealand. Where others thought being Prime Minister would be a “Man's” job, not a women. Now she is currently retired.
From what I have heard she did a fine good job and this is one of her quotes that stood out to me.“Women equally power me”. What I think her quote means is that women have the equal rights as men and Helen Clark really showed that. Women don’t want to be treated differently to men and I don’t think men would either.
