Thanks a lot for the well elucidated artices,illustrating how women have come to the top. I am sure this will definately be an encouraging article which will go a long way in making we "women" realizt that we are indeed "Shakti"...meaning power...asis depicted by the great epics of Indian sprituality.

I have a foundation, and at first I thought I would help kids with cancer and other disabilities. But soon it was clear to me that education was the only thing that would make a real change. So many kids in Mexico don't go to school. I decided to concentrate 100 percent on education with a school. It's 230 kids from first grade to sixth grade. We give them breakfast in the morning and then they go to class.
I think I play golf for a reason. It seems like the more I play, the more I can help. I love to give back. Seeing those kids happy at school makes me feel even better than winning a tournament.

I was very lucky to have liberal parents. They had moved from mainland China and settled in Hong Kong to run a small business. Times were tough in Hong Kong in the early '50s.
Both of them worked hard. They had some time for me, but they weren't watching me every minute. I was brought up not by nannies--because we were not rich--but by relatives who came from the mainland. But they made it very clear that they would do their best to provide the means for my education. They gave me space but also assurance.
I had a very happy childhood.
During high school the only thing I wanted to do was to become a teacher. I worked very hard towards that. When I graduated from teacher's college I was assigned to teach at junior-high-school level.
