The Female President. |

new woman takes her place in history as Slovakia’s first elected female
president. Environmental lawyer and government critic Zuzana Caputova handily
defeated her opponent, Maros Sefcovic, on Sunday by a count of 58 percent of

Caputova
campaigned to end corruption in Slovakia, where a journalist who investigated
high profile fraud cases and his fiancé were murdered last year. It was this
tragic incident she said sparked her candidacy
