Grandmother interview

Going back to the question whether or not it is better to be a women now or fifty years ago, I decided that one of the best ways to answer that would be if I was to talk to a women who had had experienced both lifestyles. If I had gotten my first choice then I would have talked to Queen Elizabeth II, however, for obvious reasons this was not quite possible. Instead I chose the more realistic option and interviewed my own grandmother.
           After asking her a series of questions about her past and lifestyle, the first thing I noticed was how much her life reminded me of the famous movie Greece. After that however, I started to notice some far more significant regarding society. After a while it became quite clear to me that my twelve year old sister already has more freedoms than my grandmother claimed to experience in her entire teenage life. Of course, this may have something to do with the fact that my sister is only twelve and not yet into the world of a teenager. Not to mention she goes to a posh girls only school on the outskirts of London.  However, she is still treated fairly similarly to the way I was treated at that age while my grandmother and a boy of the similar age would have almost been living in separate worlds. Of course, there are differences between the way me and my sister are treated my our parents and by society as a whole, some of them justified. Everyone is far more protective of her than myself. It should be said that when I was twelve I was very tall for my age and I went to school right in  the center of London, not to mention I was faster and more responsible than she is. It is more than fair to say that I would be less of a target than she would and if I was confronted in some way I would be far more able to protect myself. This is not to say that she can't take care of herself. But, there is definitely a logical reason in the difference some people are treated.
