  3. “Frailty thy name is woman” couldn’t have been more wrong, if only we look at the deeds of modern women!

  4. Women have long been the victims of another kind of apartheid.

  5. There are untold numbers of women around the world who, with their smaller brains appear to have gained outstanding achievements, wealth and power in all sectors of society.
