1. The Modern Woman By Amelia Macgregor

2. “ Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, "She doesn't have what it takes." They will say, "Women don't have what it takes." Clare Boothe Luce 1903 –1987

12. Who has changed? Women have changed.

13. Our ideas and experiences shape the world around us as we change as a whole, and although the traditional role of women in North America is fading, its impact can not yet be foreseen completely. Knowing nature and looking at the past, it can be assumed that we will adapt.
