De rien. One of the (few) advantages of age is that one remembers. Some of us at least do. Fact is: women now have more opportunities than before, and I’m glad. it makes a more balanced world. Yin, Yang and all that. This does not mean there still is not a lot of work to do! Be happy and free.
Just a reminder on gender equality. I think there is still work to do, but young women to-day sometimes have no idea how… “lucky” they are. Though there still is much inequality your mothers and grandmothers have opened many, may doors and ways/paths (as in Tao). In my grandmother’s generation (around WWI), several of her sisters and female cousins wanted to be Doctors, and ended up being nurses which was all that was open to women then. Women in France were “given” the right to vote only in 1946. Yesterday. Soooo… yes, there still is work to be done but there has been great advance. 🙂
