If women are men's equals, why is Women's Day celebrated?

Last updated on: March 03, 2008 23:37 IST

International Women's Day 2008 is coming up this week, on March 8.

Today's women are independent, career-oriented, strong-willed and capable.

They balance both boardrooms and their home-life with ease, juggling schedules, meeting deadlines and fulfilling all their responsibilities as corporate women.

They seem to do it all and more and they pull it off with flair.
