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.
