To a world in which many women are still struggling to gain even their most basic human rights, this book brings a vision of the future glory of womankind--a time when they will shine forth as equal partners with the menfolk in all endeavours for the moral and material betterment of human society.It has become obvious that gender equality is not only a question of justice; it also makes sense economically. The most important factor in the advancement and well-being of human society is its human talent--the ingenuity, efficacy and productivity of its workforce. Societies cannot thrive if 50% of their population are not able to attain their full educational, political, creative and earning potential. And this does not even take into account the very special attributes of that unused 50%--the feminine element that complements the best attributes of men.As well as encouraging women forward with assurances of their ultimate victory, this book calls upon men to play their part in the endeavour for worldwide gender equality. Ultimately, this will be to the benefit of men as well."The world of humanity has two wings--one is women and the other men. Not until both wings are equally developed can the bird fly. Should one wing remain weak, flight is impossible. Not until the world of women becomes equal to the world of men in the acquisition of virtues and perfections, can success and prosperity be attained as they ought to be."
