We've come a long way baby

We've come a long way baby
We've come a long way baby . . . 
but not far enough. 

I remember those Virginia Slims cigarette ads about the progress of women, depicting us as strong, versatile and funky. With that progress came more choice. We were looking for more choice, and we got it. We were also looking for more power, but we didn't really get that. But it's a comin' and days like today, International Women's Day, reminds us of how far we have come, and how much further we need to go to reach equitable status in Canada - and in almost every other country in the world.

Two steps forward. One step back.
Two steps forward. Two steps . . .
