It's 2017. The world has come a very long way for women in just over 100 years. You can vote; run for government; head global corporations. Women going to university is no longer seen as something unusual, it's not something they are fighting for anymore, it's perfectly normal. You can be surgeons, scientists, actors, astronauts, singers, painters. You can basically do anything men can do, and some things that they can't.
