There is a tendency to depict women as gold-diggers, who depend on men for getting rich and famous. The century has turned and time has changed. Women have learnt how to make their own place in this world and they are no more dependent on men for their identity. Entrepreneurship was believed to a male dominated domain before but now women have proved that they are equally good at business and other so-called manly fields.
