ABSTRACT: The main purpose of this paper is to construct a
personality profile of Yolanda, a Latin woman potentate of the Eastern Roman
Empire. The key question the author is addressing is whether or not the
personality profile of Yolanda can serve as a guide to the personality traits
of modern women as political leaders. The most important information in this
article is the influence of family, religion, schooling, class, status,
experiences, and social contacts upon the psychological development of Yolanda.
The main inference in this paper is that there may be similar attributes and
circumstances that facilitate the election of women to chiefs-of-state in modern
countries. This article was written within the context of constructivism and
feminist international relations theory.
