HAVE YOU EVER HEARD an economist or politician say that he or she can always tell how healthy and prosperous a nation is by how it treats its women? That's both a provocative question and an interesting assessment. But isn't it true that the rights of all men and women, cherished, realized, and upheld equally in any nation, would make it a happy, healthy, inspiring place to live? Recently, I found myself praying about the treatment of women.
