Would the world be more peaceful if there were more women leaders?

(…) throughout history, women leaders have been extremely rare.

They included 18 presidents and 30 prime ministers. Two countries, Ecuador and Madagascar, had a woman leader, each of whom served for a mere two days before being replaced by a man.
