Susan notes: time for women to show men how it’s done...

Susan notes: Alicia Keys captures the essence of every woman with this amazing song performed live in Madrid in 2007, and posted here to honour International Women's Day, March 8, 2010.

To introduce the song, Keys says: "OK, if I need to hear some good words, I guess I'm gonna have to write them..." The song lyrics appear below the video clip.

I’m a dynamic, engaging, attractive woman. I’m creative, curious and funny. Oh yeah, and modest too!

I have my own successful one-woman communications consultancy (or at least it was successful until the recession hit!), and I know how to make small talk at business lunches and cocktail parties.

This was then - thankfully, we had instructional videos such as this one aptly entitled:

Women: Know Your Limits!

This is now - see how things have changed as women have broken out of those old role models:

Women: Know Men's Limits!
