It’s become acceptable for people to say that women work less than men and therefore deserve less! It may have been true in the past when women were expected to stay at home and look after children, but_______________________. They have “come out”! Gone are the days when they worked very hard at the kitchen stove all day long; they are now aware of their needs and are willing to fight for them. They expect to be given the respect they deserve, both at home and at work. They have realized their intellectual potential and have determined to do something with it!
Women on two wheels have become a familiar sight on the roads of most Asian countries during the past few years. It is common to find a woman who takes her children on her bicycle to school and then reaches her office in time. It would have been unimaginable a few years ago! She has become a major part of family decisions in every aspect and how those decisions are carried out.
“Super woman” though she is, it is rather difficult to combine a career and a decent （相当好的） home life. She needs to feel supported and satisfied. She may arrive at work feeling as if she has already done a full day’s work. If colleagues doubt her commitment to her job, she would feel sad. At the same time, the women of today expect their husbands to contribute towards childcare and household chores.
Today’s women are trying to avoid situations that make them feel more stressed and it is a hard struggle. Despite all this, the new woman, “the Superpower” has arrived. She still believes in the power and value of a family unit and she holds it in high esteem（尊重）.
