Gender inequality has many distinct and dissimilar faces. In overcoming some of its
worst manifestations, especially in mortality rates, the cultivation of women's empowerment
and agency, through such means as women's education and gainful employment, has proved
very effective. But in dealing with the new form of gender inequality, the injustice
relating to natality, there is a need to go beyond the question of the agency of
women and to look for a more critical assessment of received values. When anti-female
bias in behavior {such as sex-specitic abortion) reflects the hold of traditional
masculinist values from which mothers themselves may not be immune, what is needed
is not just freedom of action but also freedom of thought — the freedom to
question and to scrutinize inherited beliefs and traditional priorities. Informed
critical agency is important in combating inequality of every kind, and gender inequality
is no exception.
