I think that Henrik Ibsen’s quote can be applied to today’s world as there is a gender imbalance in some societies today. I don’t think that his quote is completely true because today in this new and ageing modern society, there are more opportunities that arise for women and they are becoming more noticed in society and are now gaining the same rights and opportunities as men. An example was in June 16, 1963 when Valentina Tereshkova was launched into space. Valentina Tereshkova was a Russian Cosmonaut who was the first women to be launched into space. I think that this is a pretty significant moment as Valentina Tereshkova was launched into space only 2 years after the first male, Yuri Gagarin. That to this event happened in the mid nineteen hundreds which makes it more significant as this was during the time feminism was created.
I also think that our society is dependent on different individuals to solve the problem instead of taking action and trying to solve it themselves. We should not wait for a big name to appear up and solve it, because it we believe that the problem needs to be solved.
