Abstract
Michelle Bachelet, Chile’s first woman president, concluded her first term in office (2006–2010) with an 84 percent approval rating but was constitutionally prevented from seeking immediate reelection. After serving as the first Executive Director of UN Women in New York and 40 years after the coup that overthrew Salvador Allende, Bachelet regained the presidency in 2013 facing another woman, Evelyn Matthei, who represented the political right. The chapter analyzes the significance of Bachelet’s political leadership and gender-related policies calling attention to Chile’s historical trajectory and post-transition record, widely considered a model of economic and democratic stability.
