Women on top
straits times/09 April 06/ Life

Educated, successful, high earning and confident are factors which makes up Singapore's most powerful women. Today, people would term them as the "Alpha" women.

This following article entittled (women on top) speaks about the changing positions of women in the modern society. Women today, no longer play their simple part as homemakers, to cook, to look after their child or to fix dinner for their families. Women are no longer less educated than their other half, in fact, they have turned independent and ambitious from the time they knew what they want for themselves. Through time, they have achieved their roles in the political region, and the economy. Women, had finally proved their outstanding abilities as well compared to man, they no longer posess serving roles but instead, leading roles.

Having reviewed this article, I felt a sense of satisfaction and justification for all women, because women have alas reap what they sow. All along, women have always been stereo typed as the inferior gender, leaving no opportunities for them to glow despite them having hidden abilities. Successful women today, especially in the Asia region have indeed proved many chauvanistic men wrong.

An example of an ''Alpha'' woman, would be Singaporean, Beatrice Chia. Bold, vocal, and unabashedly sensual, these are adjectives that springs to people mind when actress Beatrice Chia's name is uttered. She is one of the most successful women in today's context as stated and an idol to many women today. However, women must never grow too complacent over their achievements. For, having an achievement made today would not guarantee another in the near future if hardwork and persistence dies down.
