Chị cũng nói rằng, ở Mỹ làm phụ nữ dễ hơn rất nhiều. Ở bên đó, chị có thể ngồi nói chuyện hàng giờ với những người đàn ông về những vấn đề xã hội mà phụ nữ quan tâm – điều chị hiếm gặp ở Việt Nam. “Ở Mỹ, họ chẳng bao giờ hỏi tôi lấy chồng chưa, có con chưa, bao nhiêu con rồi…Tôi đã ly hôn nhưng ở trường không ai biết, vì khi tôi không nói ra thì không ai hỏi tôi, vì họ nghĩ nó thuộc về cuộc sống riêng tư của mỗi người. Nhưng ở Việt Nam thì đó luôn là những câu hỏi đầu tiên khi tôi gặp bất kỳ ai”.

It’s sometimes said that if you send a boy to school, you educate a man; if you send a girl to school, you educate a village. That’s not always true, but empowering girls remains one of the best ways to empower a community. Girls’ education also strongly correlates to reduced family size. When I asked Tay Thi if she planned to have nine children like her mom, she roared with laughter and gave a firm “NO!”

Enacted by Congress in 1972, Title IX prohibits all discrimination “on the basis of sex” in any educational institution that receives federal funding. But when Congress was deliberating the legislation, elite schools like Harvard, Dartmouth and Smith lobbied for and won a private-school exemption for single-sex undergraduate admissions. So as Title IX is written, private women’s colleges can accept or reject anyone based on gender.

WHEN terrorists in Nigeria organized a secret attack last month, they didn’t target an army barracks, a police department or a drone base. No, Boko Haram militants attacked what is even scarier to a fanatic: a girls’ school.
That’s what extremists do. They target educated girls, their worst nightmare.
Why are fanatics so terrified of girls’ education? Because there’s no force more powerful to transform a society. The greatest threat to extremism isn’t drones firing missiles, but girls reading books.

Rivka Yeruslavsky, born into an Israeli ultra-Orthodox family, studied computer science and has gone on to open a vocational school designed to bring more haredim into the workforce.

Gloria Steinem, feminist icon known for breaking down walls, believes the battle for equality is far from over
Do you have any hope that women will be less marginalized in the church and beyond under Pope Francis?
I want for women whatever they want for themselves. Some women want to go into the church and reform it, some women want to leave the church. We all have to figure out what is right for us and the most comfortable. But when the pope sees to it that the Catholic Church pays taxes everywhere — right now they have parking lots that they are not paying taxes on. They're impoverishing the cities and countries they're in by not paying taxes. The ceremonies are not equal. The women can't become priests. Women are denied reproductive freedom, which happens to be the single most important determinant of whether we're healthy or not, educated or not, in the workforce or not, and how long we live. He's still denying that.

“If half the population is systematically lagging behind the other half, that’s going to be a real drag on our ability to meet our goals and secure any kind of prosperity for our future,”

After the 1949 Communist revolution, Mao Zedong declared that “Women hold up half the sky.” It was a phrase that caught the imagination in China and the world. Yet as socialism has crumbled and a Leninist state, married with elements of a market economy, steers the country, women’s position is slipping, as Leta Hong Fincher examines in her new book, “Leftover Women: The Resurgence of Gender Inequality in China.”
