Gender Differences in Our Society
The study published by Eurekalert! The Global Source for Science News entitled "Women most effective leaders for today's world" (2003) states that according to the findings of a study in Psychological Bulletin, 129(3), a meta-analysis indicates that "on average, women in management positions are somewhat better leaders than men in equivalent positions."

As for expectations in life, she said she did not think about it but asserted that men and women should have the same expectations.

She said she never felt that she had to be any of these things, though she did want to be attractive for her boyfriend. She felt that her self-image was mainly defined by what she valued in life, which was her family and friends and being in love with life. She could not think of any artistic expressions that she found meaningful -- so I offered some suggestions, such as music or books or films -- and she said…
