Women do hold up half the
sky
This is
supposed to be an enlightened age, but you
wouldn't think so if
you could hear
what the average man thinks of the average woman.
Men
still
carry
the
sex
war
because
them
remain
hostile.
However,
by
no
means
can
we
ignore
capabilities
possessed
by
women
and
tremendous
contributions
made by women. Considering the inborn equality in
social
status and the inherent
competitiveness between genders, women can and
do hold up half the sky.
Chairman
Mao
said
that
women
hold

sky.
The
proverb
portrays a picture
where women utilize their unique abilities
changing the
world
instead
of
sitting
under
the
tree
shade,
watching
men
being
the
pillar
of
family,
community
and
recognition
of
their
contributions,
females
nowadays
have
powerfully
proved
themselves
to
be owners of half the sky
in literature, politics, sports and so on.

”E
ven though
her husband, children, parents and even her home,
Tara
is deprived by war, she is still
full of hope and never gives up. Talented in
business
and
leadership,
she
bravely
confronts
the
difficulties
and
eventually rebuilds her
father
’
s plantation, Tara. A
woman's dignity and
willpower
could
be
seen
from
Scarlett's
hard-headed
eyes.
Scarlett's
behavior
and
spirits
strongly
demonstrate
that
women
can
and
do
