Although it should be noted that the worth of the female had been historically diminish through erroneous postulates of her physical and emotional realities. An October 5, 2007 article in The New York Times titled ‘Evolution’s Secret Weapon: Grandma,” seems to implicate that anthropologists are now discovering the worth of the female, in past and the present societies, beyond her childbearing years. It suggests that we should value our grandmothers because of their usefulness to our social evolution through their wisdom and nurturing skills. But this statement is adhering to old assumptions which claimed that a woman was only valued for her childbearing ability, therefore, it is now ‘necessary’ for scientists to find a use for the female beyond her childbearing years. There is no wonder why it has taken women so long to catch up to their male counterparts in regards to the perception of equality. There was barely time to explore her superiority. A thought that is avant-garde even in today’s society.
