Japan has its first-ever female prime minister after the nation's parliament elected 64-year-old Sanae Takaichi on Tuesday. A few highlights about her from various outlets: 
 -  Takaichi is nicknamed the "Iron Lady" of Japan because of her admiration of the late British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, reports the BBC. That may provide a sense of her politics—Takaichi is conservative and is expected to move Japan further to the right.
-  Though she broke the nation's glass ceiling, her ascension isn't being hailed in the nation as a huge victory for women, notes NBC News. As a lawmaker, she has opposed rules allowing women to keep their maiden names after marriage. (Couples in Japan must have the same surname.) She also wants to keep succession in Japan's imperial family to men only. "One would like to say this is a historic moment in Japan," says Jeff Kingston, a professor of Asian studies at Temple University's Japan campus. "But it's really hard to make that case, given her rather poor track record on empowering women."
