Women play an essential role in the world today, not only as wives and mothers but also as capable and dedicated career-women. They have entered almost every field available -- there are women engineers, scientists, test pilots and even astronauts.

Women ___1___ that they are not inferior to men. They have used their intelligence and hard work to obtain high qualifications and a sound education. Since they have the required ability there is no ___2___ why women should not seek employment.

Modern women ___3___ have been given a chance to receive education. Many of them are ___4___. They further their education at universities and colleges. In these situations they have been trained and prepared for a certain kind of work. It is ___5___ to expect them to stay at home after graduation and eventually become full-time housewives. They have  right to seek employment.

There are also various ___6___ which are ideally suited for women. In jobs which require personal service, gentleness and charm, women cannot be replaced. For instance women make ideal nurses, receptionists and air hostesses. They combine their ___7___ with their inborn talent to serve others graciously.

Women form a large part of the world's workers. There would be a ___8___ of workers if all women were to stay at home. There is also a question of finance. So many wives continue working because of the ___9___. They contribute a significant amount to offset the family expenses.

Of course, there are ___10___ women seeking employment. It is my personal opinion however, that a woman should stay at home only if she is incapable of working, is rich enough, or will not become bored. In all other instances, a woman should definitely seek a career to which she is mentally and physically suited.
