LAW Their testimony doesn’t count as that of a man.

QUEEN ELIZABETH II

Formally holds all three powers of

a democratic state:

• legislative

• executive

• judicial

“I declare before you all that my

whole life whether it be long

or short shall be devoted to your

service and the service of our great

imperial family to which

we all belong”

BENAZIR BHUTTO

“I have confidence

in myself. I always

thought that I would

become prime minister

if I wanted to.”

Did she deserv death?

When I was elected for the first time, they told me, "A woman has usurped the place of a man! Should be killed, should be murdered, committed heresy!”

CULTURE

1960

A new revolution: miniskirt

“Coco Chanel took women slats and busts,

stiffness and frills. He returned to his body,

of his freedom of movement.”

Today in many Eastern countries

women do not have the opportunity to

grow culturally.

INSTRUCTION When women are given equal access to education, amazing things happen.

“Education is the

most important

weapon to change the

world.”

MADAME CURIE: science

The first woman who won

two nobel prize

• 1903, physics

• 1911, chemistry

In 1891, was the first woman

to teach at the Sorbonne.

Nobody can guess

What I say when I am silent,

Whom I see when I close my eyes,

How I am carried away when I am carried away,

What I search for when I stretch out my hands.

Nobody, nobody knows

When I am hungry, when I take a journey,

When I walk, and when I am lost.

And nobody knows

That my going is a return

And my return is an abstention,

That my weakness is a mask

And my strength is a mask,

And that what is coming is a tempest.

They think they know

And I let them think so,

And I speak.

They put me in a cage so that

My freedom may be a gift from them,

And I have to thank them and obey.

But I am free before them, after them,

With them, without them.

I am free in my suppression, in my defeat.

My prison is what I want!

The key to the prison may be their tongue,

But their tongue is twisted around my desire’s

fingers,

And my desire they can never command.

I am a woman.

They think they own my freedom.

I let them think so,

And I speak.
