Equality for women? We’re not done fighting yet

To be a woman in the 21st century is to live with layers of contradictions. You can be anything you want, until you want to be a mother. You can do anything you want, but make sure you look terrific doing it… some privileged women and men decreed that the fight for equality and against sexism has been won and therefore we western women should all just shut up and stop our whining… Well-behaved women – women who don’t whine – are not the ones who make history or policy. They’re not the ones who got us this far. Take nothing for granted. Equality is never a done deal.
