For the first time in the history of the world women have more rights today than ever. We can be educated. We can work outside the home, run businesses, be the boss. Women can vote. Women have a voice. Women are more respected as equals to man and some women wish to be shown superiors, although that is another topic for another time. With all this freedom are we happy?
