I taught ESL in Korea in the nineties. Men went to work and women stayed home. The young women in my classes were determined to have careers. But these changes do take time. I am pleased that women are reaching for higher education opportunities. Go women! It doesn't matter where you live -- you have to fight for opportunity. Cheering for you!
