Modern Cinderellas

The condition of women in the western world has drastically improved in the past 100 years. Women acquired the rights to vote, divorce, get birth control prescriptions and even an abortion. Most women can choose to be economically independent and have successful careers. However, the culture and society are adapting to these changes very slowly, and modern women are stuck between the old role models conventionally offered by society and the new potentials for having fulfilling lives different from what they could have had in the past. Modern Cinderellas stems from the personal experience of the hosts to discuss the new ways in which modern women can find happiness and fulfillment, the joys and difficulties of doing something different, the obstacles created by social pressures, the challenges of maintaining the positive aspects of womanhood in a male-dominated society. Modern Cinderellas hopes inspire and support women who don’t want to settle for the old models, who want to live by their own rules, who are not willing to wait for someone to find their lost shoe, but are ready to go and find it themselves, put it on and go walk their own path to happiness.
