Andrea 's difficulties and problems in her two worlds show that she could not able to perform her duties , obligations , plans , and goals in her life . The main issue about Andrea is that she wanted to have both worlds - having a perfect family and a successful career .

In the field of Women Studies , it was said that women from the past and up to this generation are still behind or beneath men .
