All through the stories of women we can find a theme of the inner thoughts, and the inner creativity that is hidden from the world only to bust forth in story. I think that my mother has sent some unseen cord out to me, secretly telling me that this story is a truth, and that my soul carries the seeds of what was before. I never thought something so simple as looking at a piece of the past could carry so much insight into my self and into the slavery and pain of the women before me. The manipulation of the women in WWII has raised many questions still unanswered. Women are now joining the military and fighting alongside men.
Women are in CEO positions in corporations and also starting their own business.
Even with these events, women images in magazines and movies are of thin, fragile and helpless females. The men of today expect women to be slim, dependent and helpless creatures, even if they are raising a family and working on a career.

Women are still expected to give up their aspirations if the home needs them or their husbands are transferred to another town. The wages of professional women are still lower than the male counterpart and the women still are the main homemakers.
