Women’s Liberation and Feminism

Women are playing more and more active roles in the political, economic, and cultural life of our times. Their voices are being listened to with greater respect, and they are making important decisions affecting major portions of society. Inferior intellect and dependency have largely ceased to be diagnosed as deficiencies of their nature. It hasn’t always been so. Women in the past have too often been looked down upon. Today this may tend to be exaggerated for ideological reasons, but history shows us it is true enough.
