The Rise of Women

The ancient conception that attributed a woman to being the second class citizen, the weaker sex, responsible for trivial matters, unaware of the economic, social and political issues, less thoughtful, and overall inferior to men, whether you like it or not, is but extinct.

Welcome to the new world; the epoch which has brought with itself multitude of women who have proved themselves worthier than heaps of men. Embrace the new world that has seen many women as scientists, politicians, analysts, managers, astronauts, authors, trainers, and even presidents.

Suffice to say that the feminist movement since the dawn of its establishment, has spread the message of unity and self-reliance among all the women around the globe.

We, now, live in a situation in which women in many parts of the world contribute to more than half the income of a given family, and being the sole breadwinner of the household is nothing uncommon for the ladies of the 21st century either. The role of women in our contemporary life-style by far exceeds what it used to be few centuries back.

The aforementioned change in the attitude towards women did not come cheap however, many women, for years and years, persistently fought for their various rights, from suffrage, and guardianship, to equal pay and publicity.
