Questão de Língua Portuguesa

1 More than a century after women started campaigning for the right to vote, it still seems that there aren’t enough women in position of power. In the world as a whole, there 4 have been very few female heads of state and in some countries women hold hardly any political power. In industrialized countries where large numbers of women work, it still happens 7 that men earn two or three times as much for doing the same job. Although there are a few successful female business leaders, there are clearly many more men at the top. Many 10 people believe that this situation reflects the fact that women haven’t got enough time to be successful in the work place, and in the home. There is too much pressure on women, they say, 13 to be good wives and mothers, and they are at a disadvantage in the job market. However, there is quite a lot of evidence to suggest that women can be more successful in the modern 16 business environment than men. Many modern business operations now depend on co-operation and flexibility, and women are better at those skills than men. So it may well be 19 that in the future, quite a lot of important business will be run by women, and it will be the men who earn lower wages or stay at home. Idem, ibidem (adapted).
