Among all the changes resulting from the massive entry of women into the work force,the transformation that has occurred in the women themselves is not the least important.They see themselves in a new light,for they have discovered that they can just do as well as men in any profession.Some of them have gone to the top:the chief economist of General Motors is a woman,and so is the president of the great filmmaking company 20th Century Fox.Such successes have given women pride and self confidence.Of course,the picture is not perfect.In the first place,a very large number of women do not even try to enter “male” professions because they lack the necessary training or because they are not bold enough to risk taking new paths.For one woman executive(执行官) or one woman judge,there are still countless typists and saleswomen who struggle through their day without any sense of victory.Besides,many of their braver sisters,who are daring to compete with men in higher fields,find that male opposition is still strong,and that society is still ready to explain a woman’s success by reasons that have nothing to do with their intelligence.Still,the fact remains that women are now free to enter any career that attracts them.The situation has improved,and the tide is not likely to turn back.
