Breaking Boundaries
76648 views | 6 comments
Women have come a long way in the past few decades, but are we there yet?

Our mother's generation relentlessly questioned the status quo. Women today continue to bend, break and reject boundaries in all areas of both public and private life. It is, we think, a generational mantra.

See Waheeda Malullah's mesmerizing photographs in "Cover" where she shapes, reshapes and reinvents a pair of blue jeans and a vivid green curtain into a hijab.

Rejoice with the Aboriginal Australian athlete Cathy Freeman her Olympic-gold-medal victory as well as her victory over discrimination.

See Shen Ling’s series of intimate portraits which depict urban Chinese women exploring dating and sexuality.

See how young women today are redefining what it means to be a woman.

Actually I think if we want to make the future it is better to not start with fighting...I think it is the human who made the boundaries( any kind of it) and they exist until we believe they exist, and If we don't believe them there...
