First, they are highly motivated and determined to achieve their goals. Second, women often face social restrictions and discrimination, which forces them to work harder to overcome these barriers. Take me, because I was generally lazy and I was not interested in anything. I even asked for do my coursework, used https://essays.edubirdie.com/do-my-coursework for that. So in my opinion everything is clear. Finally, education provides women with new opportunities for self-realization and independence, which is important in modern society.
