Hello, Bonjour, Ni hao, Annyeong, Konnichiwa!

Through ages, this has been a popular discussion for many debates especially when feminism is the main topic. Now the question is, does the society still bars women from becoming successful leaders? Now that we are in the 21st century, much have changed. 20 years ago is different from this year, all the beliefs, traditions, and the norms have changed as well. If women aren't recognized before, which includes their rights and roles, today there exists female leaders that are truly successful. Today women now have their complete rights. Today women are able to fight back to those that makes them weak, today women are able to stand up independently. With all these, women of today are able to rise up and lead.
