Are women still limited to how far they may progress in their chosen carers?

It depends on what part of the world you live in. Even in the free world the male still has most of the control. We have more say now as women than ever before and there is no reason why in this day in time women can't do most jobs men do.

Careers are not so much a gender thing as they are an individual decision.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
