Woman: Love, Carrier, and Independence.
First we consider the Independence of a woman. In fact, the independence is of the mind, and decision making, rather than of the body. A married woman can be bound to her husband physically, but could be intellectually very independent. She can live her own life, and yet she performs her duties to her husband's family. In a similar way an unmarried girl can also continue to lead her own life, and activities independently in her parents' home, and yet can perform her duties to them. All this depends on her mental make up, a sense of duty, and her maturity level. In such cases, these women should not feel they are slaves. They can easily maintain the balance and live peacefully in these two states. Some trials and errors might be required. Some training would be very useful, as well as some councelling.
Today's women have to work to earn money to maintain their families. So, career is firstly important. If they are in a relationship with a partner, then they have to have some financial security assured; they can't and shouldn't be dependent upon the partner. Love can wait, the money will not wait, it will go away from your hands, if not acquired in a short time. A true love is the one that understands the lover's situation and can be with her/him during the crucial times and needs.
It is a challenge to the modern girls to keep a balance between the love and career. If you insist on career, you might lose a good relationship, and if you get too much involved in love affairs, you might lose opportunities to earn even descent money that you badly need. This requires strong mind and determination.
Others' experiences might be very useful.
