I also found that Dr. Condoleeza Rice made a powerful point about find the role model in every aspects of life. Although the society sometimes still discourages female from the prusuit of science and engineering achievement, there are a few of famous female scientists.

    Thelma and Louise, a film by Carolyn Ann Khouri, trails the liberations of two working class women in the 90’s. These women plan a weekend away from the men in their lives due to the fact that Thelma’s husband is a misogynistic man who feels that a woman’s job consists only of housework and cooking.
