Product Description
Women's lives have changed with amazing speed in the last one hundred years. Old stereotypes - such as the idea that girls aren't as good at math as boys - are being broken by new studies.Women have won Nobel Prizes in many fields. In 2011, for instance, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to three African women - activists Leymah Gbowee and Tawakkol Karman, and Liberian president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, for "their nonviolent struggle for the safety of women." Today, women lead countries from Germany to Brazil to Australia.
