New woman



What we call a new woman can be found exclusively starting from gen Y.
Because of the revolution in gender role woman are becoming more independent and more decisive on their purpose of life and how they live their life.
When previously a woman is defined to be a mother in charge of every household and taking care of their children, nowadays, we have changed. They think more about career, and decide whether or not they WANT to have what kind of family or children. Just like this lady..

And here is a quotation of fact sheets:
  • "By 2025 women in the UK will own 60% of the nation’s wealth, and by 2020 only 47% of the UK’s millionaires will be men
  • Women are increasingly the main breadwinner, earning more than their partners in 21% of today’s couples
  • In the US women are opening their businesses at a rate that is double that of men
  • More women are entering the stock market - they now constitute 47% of all investors, according to the US National Association of Securities Dealers
  • Spending power of women is 50% more than it was 20 years ago
  • Women buy 68% of new cars and 65% of new tyres in the US. The automotive industry is responding by designing cars by women for women, for example the Volvo concept car."

That's how female has grown in social economic throughout the years.
However, woman who is wanting to get married, still have a high expectation of men.
Sometimes or not, we expect men to still be the breadwinner.. and not just clinging on the working females
