No one can deny the great role that women played over the past centuries. They stood side by side with man and were able to prove to the whole world that they shouldn’t be marginalized. They are not only housewives but they can also occupy leading positions in our societies. This would not harm the masculinity of man but would strengthen him and create a world that promotes the values of democracy and equality. They can cook, clean and take after children. Likewise they can be doctors, teachers and thinkers. We should believe in the necessity for gender role to vanish. They should not be treated as if they are peripheral players. They can work, earn money and provide for their children. They can also vote and have a role in shaping the history of their nations. The 25th of January was a great example that proved to the Egyptian people and the whole world that women have a great role in society and can make achievements that history will remember for years to come. But we should recognize the fact that it is not easy for women to achieve these goals. They have a long way to go given the obstacles that exist in male-dominated societies. I am sure that they can overcome these hurdles and even prove that they are better than man. Here, you will find some examples of successful women who were able to achieve their goals and become a role model for all women.
