We like to hear success stories of people to inspire us to keep living… each story has its own style, uniqueness and content… each has a plot, a struggle, a solution, a conclusion… one generic story that remarkably struck me is how women trudged her way towards what she is in the society today… this is because, as a woman, I feel grateful that I am able to expand my wings and not be limited to the walls of a home… just like a man, I have a license to dream and hope… come with that, a right to fail and learn and narrate my story to my children and people who dare to listen.
For decades, women earning their status in workplaces is becoming one of the most common news.. since early 1990’s, the growing number of career women has been shockingly shooting statistics up… some were pleased while there were those who were apprehensive.
It’s funny because a hundred years ago, this may not even be thinkable…. who ever knew that women who were dressed up like dolls and trained to be contented goddesses of the home would struggle to get out of the norm? Who ever thought that she would be able to lead a nation? Way back, women were loveable puppets… experiences through time, however, revolutionized the way people think… educated women become more aware of their rights and abilities… nowadays, women are lovingly embracing their responsibilities not just in the home but also in the society… i do think that this movement is making the world a better place… so, what’s the noise all about? We are not here to replace men but to compliment them as always.
There are now more and more mothers who are going out of their homes and helping their husbands create financial stability… some are single moms needing to earn a living. Others just enjoy career stability and recognition.
Although the figures may have initially put men in an awkward state perceiving the opposite sex as competition, however, nowadays, men are becoming more appreciative and accepting of what’s going on. To evidence this, a few shifts in home routine have taken place such as reallocation of household chores, less personal motherly attendance have paved husbands a chance to substitute; and mothers now take part in the decisions more than before.
A successful woman did not become a superstar overnight! She suffers and endures a few work-related issues left and right… she recurrently battles with machismo once in a while and maybe this is something she can never get rid of.. around the globe and anytime, harassment and violence are major problems that come her way… she is prone to a lot of mishaps… however, she keeps on.
She keeps on and people have to give her credit for that… let’s be frank.. women are closing the gender gaps as time goes by… she is redefining her success from homemaker to associate to corporate executive where she levels with if not overpowers men in achievements… do these facts make men irritable?
At some point it did, maybe it still does to a few. But there are also others who are not really bothered by such transformation… she still remains to be an unwavering emblem of beauty…she still has her grace and add to that a glowing confidence to voice out what she believes in this time… that doesn’t make her less of a person… the evolution that a woman faces in her social and career life did not only make the world a better place but also has made her more fulfilled as a person. Who dares to take that away from her? I wouldn’t.

Just wanted to say HI. I found your blog a few days ago on Technorati and have been reading it over the past few days.
The ‘role’ of women in a society is based on different belief structures, some allow for change easier than others. Much of the way things are is based on the way things have always been. Humans are creatures of habit, plus generally seek comfort. And much of our comfort, short term anyway, is derived from getting as much as possible organized and defined in our lives so most people try to avoid change. This can be evidenced as people hang on to old ideas sometimes for no more reason than it is what ‘has always been.” When one potential change is tied to other ideas and concepts that people have set in place the potenial change will have a more difficult time coming about. This can be seen where the related links run deep in a belief system. Any change can take time, more than we may like, but the key is to stick with it. Many of the women in the sufferage movement never did get to vote, but their efforts aided eventual success.
Hi John and thx for your comment !
I came across a brilliant article today about the womens struggles to gain equality in the workforce in Australia.. thru improved conditions and employment opportunities.. The women’s suffrage movement of the nineteenth century was an important part of their on-going struggle, with women in colonial society seeking the same opportunities and rights as their male counterparts..
this is based on current research being undertaken by the Australian Heritage Commission that is looking into the history of womens employment in Oz.. the report so far is quite interesting.. for instance i didnt know that Australian women lead the world in obtaining the vote during the nineteenth century; women first voted in South Australia on 23 March 1896. .. and in 2002 we celebrated 100 years of women’s suffrage in the Australian Commonwealth and 40 years of Aboriginal women’s suffrage.
this report can be found here Womens Employment and Professionalism
thanks so much for adding your expert insight once again..
Warm regards,
Miz Helena
