OXYGEN MAGAZINE
In recent decades women around the world have made strides in political participation. By the 1980s women could vote virtually everywhere in the world, except for a few Muslim countries. As of mid-2005, when women in Kuwait won suffrage, women could vote in all countries where men could vote except Saudi Arabia. The right to vote usually included the right to run for elected office. In 2005 there were 12 female national leaders in the world, including 8 heads of state (3 monarchs and 5 presidents) and 4 heads of government (prime ministers). In 2005 women made up almost 16 percent of legislative bodies worldwide, compared to 11 percent in 1999 and 9 percent in 1987. Despite these advancements, women's role in governmental decision-making remains limited.
There's many more to the women of today. They are now very innovative and may be dominant in their own way. They make decisions at home and that's very common today. They work outside their homes and become very productive. Not to mention the roles they play inside their homes, being homemakers and wives and mothers. They're very flexible. This magazine, entitled OXYGEN Magazine, is definitely for the light of our house. Surely, it will bring new ideas on today's women on how to manage stress and how to relax in today's modern world. This magazine will bring about the beauty in them.
