When I was a kid I thought how I could be the first female elder! Now I would rather be the first female president (any country will do) or something...

Why would any self-respecting woman want to be an elder in the Kingdom Hall? Surely woman are capable of far loftier ambitions than sitting in small, sweaty committee rooms picking over the intimate and grubby details of the lives of lapsed and non-lapsed Jws and offering stifling formulae for solving the most complex of life's problems of the repentent ones (You know the recipe for every single problem: "Pray more, study more, attend meetings more and preach more".....which translates as, Go mad ever so slowly and surely).

What really pissed me off was the fact that I, studying accounting, was not allowed to help with administration and some dimwitted sardine brain for a brother was

Well that is the only good job left for the guys... all the heavy duty jobs like pioneering is always left up to the women.

It's true: Men glorify themselves in the world of religion and woman do all the hard, often unseen slog. Most of the hard-working pioneers in my congregation in the 1960s were older women. The men, by contrast, got all the publicly visible roles (standing up on stage and pontificating about what "we" should all be doing). I wonder if it's any different in religions who have female "figureheads" such as the seventh-day adventists, christian scientists or theosophists. Somehow, I imagine the men do all the Big Important stuff, while the women busy themselves in the kitchens or community halls.
