Transcript
00:00The modern woman is doubly caught in the daytime.
00:04She is the empowered and liberated one,
00:07doing all kinds of things in the office,
00:10competing in her career,
00:12achieving much as a professional.
00:14That's what she's doing in the daytime.
00:16And then she returns.
00:18And at 7pm,
00:20she becomes much of the same householder
00:23that her mother or grandmother were.
00:28Now she is bearing these two roles
00:31and she's caught and stuck
00:34and she's collapsing under the double burden.
00:36The old has to go to make way for the new.
00:40Not only do you have to draw the old kinds of limits,
00:46you must also remember that
00:49the identity of the woman itself is the greatest limit.
00:54The external equality that we talk of,
00:57that must be achieved.
00:59And that has been, to a great extent, already achieved.
01:02But when it comes to inner freedom,
01:04that's still a far cry.
01:06We are still living in the 18th century or something.
