President Dilma

"The global oil industry has long been a male-dominated bastion, represented in the popular imagination by real gulf sheiks and fictional swaggerers like J. R. Ewing in “Dallas.” But an exception to this rule has emerged in Brazil, Latin America’s rising oil power, where women now occupy the most powerful positions in the nation’s booming energy industry.

In a matter of weeks this year, Maria das Graças Foster, a longtime chemical engineer, rose to the top job at Petrobras, Brazil’s state-controlled oil company, and Magda Chambriard was nominated to lead the National Petroleum Agency, which regulates Brazil’s oil sector.

Placing women in such commanding positions is a priority of President Dilma Rousseff, the first woman to lead Brazil. Ms. Rousseff, who visited the United States this week, is a former energy minister who headed Petrobras’s board for seven years during the administration of her predecessor, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva."  (Fonte: https://www.nytimes.com/)
