[Comment] Women, power, and the cancer divide

Almost 100 years ago, Gabriela Mistral, Chilean poet and Nobel Prize winner, said that “every law, every freedom or culture movement, has left us for a long time in the shadows; that we always have arrived to the feast not as the reluctant guest who is arriving late, but as a comrade who is invited late and then hides in the banquet”.1 Mistral reminds us that, despite many hard won achievements, women in many parts of the world still remain “in the shadows”. Gender inequality and disempowerment of women have deep roots that plunge into the furthest recesses of our societies.
