Today, they are at the helm of a number of public and private sector institutions, successfully balancing their domestic and professional agendas. They have stood the test of time and emerged as great, learned individuals who have the ability to gain more knowledge and challenge the stereotypical norms of the erstwhile patriarchal society.
