You may be right.
Besides, the older generations of Chinese women have come a long way in their fight for emancipation and equal rights with men. We mustn't forget their struggle against feudalist ideas and practices. The improved status of Chinese women came only after a long, long struggle.
Yes, I'm beginning to see your point.
Take my family, for example. My grandmother was illiterate, but not my grandfather.
Take my family, too. In my grandmother's generation, her brothers were at least able to go to middle school, but not my grandmother and her sister and female cousins. Some of them were forced to quit school even before they finished the last year of primary school. I'm the first female college student in my family.
Me, too. What deprived the women in the older generation of their right to education was the idea that "Ignorance is a woman's virtue."
What a terrible idea!
