Breaking Stereotypes
It was considered that women were only supposed to do certain jobs like nursing, but women nowadays broke all such stereotypes and entered all realms and did their best. It was believed that girls aren’t good at maths and science but women like Shakuntala Devi, Madam Curie, Maryam Mirzakhani, and many other great women proved these stereotypes wrong and crossed them easily. Women rose their voices and started for asking their rights and equality and this opened up many new opportunities for them. One such lady who rose like a Phoenix and broke all such stereotypes was Indira Gandhi.
