The default image of a leader is male.

So say a recent op-ed and an article in the NY. Times. To succeed, Hillary tries to appear tough (but probably doesn't have to work too hard at it), and women in general have to be more aggressive negotiators, observe the women writing these pieces. But Hillary is reportedly cultivating her girlfriend advantage, and a researcher is examining whether cleavage helps women in sales. Women have to work both sides of the gender divide to succeed seems to be the message. No wonder women's brains are better wired for multitasking than men's.
