Whether this is due to the struggle by the (17) in the 1960s and 1970s, or whether it is due to a natural shift in attitudes is unclear. What is clear, however, is that women no longer feel they need to be regarded as (18) , the underdogs in a (19) with their (20) .. In fact, many believe that in the (21) , it is women who have come out on top. Don't forget to keep a record of the words and expressions that you have learnt, review your notes from time to time and try to use new vocabulary items whenever possible.
