Are women happier now?

Hello everybody,

I was just wondering whether people think that women in their country are happier now than the women of your grandmother´s generation?

I don´t think women are happier now than in the past. In fact, women actually are worried about many things: Job, their kids, their image, money… so many things that our culture is showing by media, internet, news… so I think every woman suffers stress, pressure that their grandmothers didn´t suffer (because only they were worried about their houses).

It´s ok women have now a world of possibilities to do whatever they want, but they have to accept the responsabilities for experiment it.

But remember that you don´t need to be rich or get a status that society show us, happiness depends of you.

My grandmother told me stories of growing up on a farm, and hearing her mother (my great-grandmother) give birth – she screamed and screamed for an entire day. But when my grandmother gave birth, she gave birth in a hospital and there were pain killers, and my mother as well.

As for the other things, i cannot say – but as far as childbirth goes, certainly it is better to be a woman these days.
