Post #3

For my post today, I chose another New York Times article to read titled "In Poverty and Strife, Women Test Limits" by Carlotta Gall. This article discusses how many women are beginning to gain more rights in Afghanistan for the first time, one has even taken the role as a governor in the country, the first one ever. The Shiite Muslims are a much less conservative sect, and are more open to the idea of women working in places other than the home, making it much easier for them. But, this is a huge step for all of the women, because it is a step of progression, and hope for all of the other women in the country, that they too can have some of their repression lifted. Some things as small as driving a car are huge to women in Afghanistan, and other countries like it. Hopefully in time, all women in all countries will have the same rights and privileges as the men do in those countries.
