News - Finally, equality?

I've read about a news article saying that the most powerful people in India are women. So, the president of India is a woman, Sonia Gandhi. The speaker of the parliament and the leader of the opposition are women, too.

Sadly, it's not like they got there by their own strength, as they inherited the charge from a male mentor. But still, I think it's a progress because in other countries female descendents couldn't inherit such important charges. In my opinion, this is an important step to equality that might already be done in most parts of the world, but still not everywhere.

But even in Europe the world equality is still quite relative. For example, women with the exact same qualification and the same job as a man still earn less money. I think that isn't exactly what equality should be like. However, we're still quite a few steps ahead of some countries, where women still have many, many rights less than here.

Finally, I think it's nice to see that the world is in a positive progress, it seems, but that can't be the end now. It must go on like that.
