The first-round victory of Argentina’s Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, wife of incumbent President Nestor Kirchner, reinforces the trends to the left in Latin America, but also illustrates its ambiguities; it shows democracy has been stabilized, but remains of poor quality; and it suggests that women can aspire to the highest offices of government, but have to perpetuate gender stereotypes to win.
