H.C. Ostrander wrote in this news article, "Happy Burma, where the Women are Emancipated" a long time ago, that traditionally in Myanmar culture, women were NOT discriminated, strangely in this an Asian country. This reflects a good democracy and equality of women among Myanmars since the olden days, in comparison with women in other religions.
