The role of the woman in this modern society

With the massive feminist movement initiated by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and the subsequent controversy generated by Meghan Markle's decision to pause her acting career to focus on her royal marriage, this question have been asked a lot :

What is a woman’s place in this modern world?


 I rebel against this question, though so many "woke" individuals ask it.
The inherent bias in the inquiry seems invisible to so many of them.
 They consider themselves progressive because they are willing to challenge many of the assumptions of the past. They ignore the greater assumption—

that a “place” for women must be defined and set forth to begin with.

More than half of the population must somehow be reduced to the role arrived at by a single conversation.

No matter how broad that role is, it will be—by nature—a reduction from the infinite variety that is womanhood.

I say that there is no role for women—

there is, instead, a role for each woman, and she must make it for herself.

For some, it will be the role of scholar; for others, it will be the role of wife. For others, it will be both. For yet others, it will be neither.

Do not mistake me in assuming I value one woman’s role above another. My point is not to stratify our society—we have done that far too well already—my point is to diversify our discourse.

A woman’s strength should not be in her role, whatever she chooses it to be,but in the power to choose that role.

It is amazing to me that I even have to make this point, as I see it as the very foundation of our conversation.
