The role of women in society is, to this day, ever changing in England. Women are not proportionately represented in the media, now, or in early English eras such as the Medieval Times.

For instance, Dr. Malzahn would say a leader is “a conversation about a potential future that elicits the discretionary efforts of others to the realization of that future”. For me though the answer to what is a leader is, someone who is able to find a problem in this society, be able to relate and gather people around who also have the same problem, and have the ability to motivate…
