We women born in the second half of the twentieth century are the first generation of women ever born who had had, in advance, regulations by which we could be regarded as human beings, equal before the law as well as men. Millennia before no one thought that this could be so; nobody would think that it was irregular that men, a half of humankind, possessed all the rules and privileges, and women, another half of population, existed without any rights, but automatically acted upon men’s rules in silence, worked for men’s rules and destined to live their lives without human rights to be asked to make any decision about their own likes or dislikes in life. Commands like “Shut up, listen and work”, and “I give food to you”, were regularly used by their “masters”; oh yes, so it was.
