Just a couple of decade back women in a workplace were hard to find, they had only on the job and that is to be a good housewife. Their life was barricaded into the four walls of their house. They had no choice, they had no stories to tell, but now fast forward a couple of decades where women empowerment has been on the rise. Thanks to internet women has found a way to work from home. That does not mean that all women are doing is to surf the web. What I am saying is that they have found a way to learn the outside world and learnt how to live their dream.
