WIN Adeline's Loft jewelry this International Women's Day 2013!

I can see all you women nodding your head (maybe the men will shake their head and say silently "Not another one!" hahaha!) while you read the above.

As far back as we know women has always been looked down upon, hold low status in the society and regards to worth lesser then men.  Even in this era the status of women in some region has not improved a lot.  I am lucky to be born in a country where the women holds equal status and rights as the men, given my character I'd probably live a miserable and angry life.

So, what does being a Woman mean to me, more specifically a 20th Century Woman?  Well, I enjoy the freedom of doing what ever I please or going to places that I desire, receive the education that I need to survive the working society, to love & hate as my emotions deem right, to be independent physically, mentally and financially.  I am able to bitch about voice out and discuss my displeasure about social issues with people listening to me instead of being ridiculed at and brush me off. And with all these mixed together, you will get a woman as mentioned in the quote above.

Having said that, it IS still a fact that women do not measure up with men in the corporate world.  This is because a woman's other roles is to be a Wife and Mother, so regardless of how hard they fight to climb that corporate ladder, they will probably lose their will to fight future battles when their status changed to either of that.  For those that persist, it is usually a lonely battle where only fellow career mum will understand and sympathise. 

At the end of the day, we strive to do a good job in every area, we try to put in our best effort for every tasks thrown at us but deep deep down inside we just want to have some fun in doing every thing.  

Sharing my favourite song since I heard it more then a decade ago; Shania Twaine's Man! I feel like a Woman.  I love the lyrics and especially this line;

The best thing about being a woman

Is the prerogative to have a little fun

We women, have come a long way and without the yearning of a group of women many decades ago who decided to put their feet down to make a change in the conditions of their life and demand recognition of the hard work they do, we will still be holding the low status in the society.  To mark this day, International Women's Day or IWD was created and since then it has been celebrated on 08 March in many region.  It is the celebration of respect, appreciation and love towards women together with their economic, political and social achievements.  Click here to read more about the history of IWD.
