Women's rights
rights and voice their opinions if they are facing
marital abuse has been clearly portrayed by the
Nadia character in this book.
I liked the fact that this has been highlighted in
the book, and discussed in detail, mostly like an
advocacy.
What do you folks think?
Thanks.

Yes. The book is definitely about female empowerment, which Adele personifies.va2016 wrote:The fact that women have to fight for their equal

It's so nice to hear about people who have faced hardships with no fear. Hat's off to you! I don't know about the pay scale, but society itself is a terrible beast in many places around the world. Equal rights are lawfully practiced, yet the expectations are different for different genders. It'll take some time, but hopefully everything will even out soon.Creating Serenity wrote:I was in the military and we did shift work and during those weeks we all had to stay up late into the night working inside submarine hulls that were extremely cold. It sucked for everyone. I was given the same pay as the person beside me based on my rank that was on my shoulder. I worked for that rank, everyone had, the same way. I don't understand why things are so different around the world. I haven't read My Trip to Adele YET but it sounds very interesting!

Being there is fearless enough. Let me be honest with you, I'm definitely afraid. That's one of the reasons I salute great people like you. Keep up the good work!Creating Serenity wrote:Thank you Swara but to be completely fair although I was in during war I never had to see any parts of the war. I guess being in the military is considered a feat in itself and most likely why everyone is paid by rank instead of gender. I agree though, we're getting there!

The more I was exposed to the world outside of my house and my family, the more I was exposed to the inequities and unbalance in the work and home life of others. I didn't understand it. I just couldn't fathom the idea or the rationalization behind making someone feel inferior due to gender.
I've never given up my ideals, though, and I don't allow myself to be treated unfairly or as less than equal. I try to raise my children to treat others fairly and as equals, and I hope they never accept any less from those that they allow into their lives.
I'm a stay at home mom, but not because that's where my husband thinks my place should be. I'm here because it's what I want right now while my boys are young, and my husband respects my maternal desire to do so. It's truly disheartening what some women go through, and the difficulties they endure fighting for what should be basic and natural โฆ equality.
