Mrs. Sirimavo Bandaranaike, widow of Ceylon?s assassinated Prime Minister, Solomon Bandaranaike, addresses an election rally on July 13, 1960 in Colombo. She is president of the freedom party founded by her late husband. If the party wins the Ceylon general election on July 20, she will become Prime Minister possibly the world?s first woman premier. Her rallies draw many women, one of whom (right) has her hands raised in worship of Mrs. Bandaranaike. (AP Photo)
