Breaking Boundaries
Women have come a long way in the past few decades, but are we there yet?

Our mother's generation relentlessly questioned the status quo. Women today continue to bend, break and reject boundaries in all areas of both public and private life. It is, we think, a generational mantra.

See Waheeda Malullah's mesmerizing photographs in "Cover" where she shapes, reshapes and reinvents a pair of blue jeans and a vivid green curtain into a hijab.

Rejoice with the Aboriginal Australian athlete Cathy Freeman her Olympic-gold-medal victory as well as her victory over discrimination.

See Shen Ling’s series of intimate portraits which depict urban Chinese women exploring dating and sexuality.

See how young women today are redefining what it means to be a woman.

Are boundaries a thing of the past? Boundaries are made to limit, stop and curtail, but this courageous generation of women has been breaking, transgressing and defying them in ingenious ways.

Recent statistics show that young women attend high school and college in numbers overwhelmingly higher than ever before. Even in the workplace, women are leaders: Women today represent 70 percent of the workforce in developed countries and 60 percent in developing countries!

"Boundaries are made to be broken," young women have told us time and time again. Join the conversation and tell about boundaries you have already broken and about the boundaries you have yet to overcome.
