Women have made significant strides in gaining equality across the board and control of their lives since winning the right to vote in 1920. Over the past century, we have seen women advance in industry, diversify our government and military, slowly crack the glass ceiling to join men in the C-suites of major companies and corporations, and gain additional freedoms by popular votes and Supreme Court decisions.

After finishing my Freshman year at MIT in 1990, I flew back to Singapore for the summer.  One of my best friends insisted I go with him to see a Buddhist fortune reader.
