PPP1 - Reading Week Task - Blog about a international political issue

The article on

It’s International Women’s Day, but where are the female role models?


is and interesting reflection/opinion on the international event 'international women's day'. As the event is a celebration of the status of women this article looks at the status of women within work and society today, it outlines the progress of women's rights and independence however it tends to focus on the way women are portrayed within society through the lack of 'real female role models'.


To a certain extent this article is true however within society there are 'real' role models for women to look up to .I feel that the celebration of International women's day should not be negatively put down through an opinion of a newspaper that chooses NOT to focus on the positive role models in society. I feel that International women's day should be a celebration of the independence of women and the equality that they have gained over the years- this celebration should not be negatively covered by reporters.
