- Dear Eliseo,
I'm a MA student in Conflict Resolution, and I'm currently conducting research on women world leaders, including Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and Corazon Aquino. With your background, I was wondering if you'd have any recommended readings or sources about the aforementioned topic. If so, would you be open to sharing them with me? Thank you very much in advance!
Best,
Go
