Although we entered the third millennium many years ago, women in Serbia are still living in an imbalance between old, traditional roles and new values. Instead of being relieved of their traditional burdens, women in the 21st century seem to be experiencing even harder lives. Lost between old patriarchal relations and obligations, they have also acquired some new ones. In addition to the traditional (implicit) roles of wife, mother, and housewife, now the already common (covered in the movie) question arises: what do women want? To have families, careers, and leadership positions or all of these combined. However, this question is not only addressed to them, but to the wider social community and the state. Why? Because the old roles have remained while for new, professional positions women are expected to compete with men on an equal footing, with the exception of pay and a few other things. In this paper, we will try to answer these questions or at least point out the existing problems, including the already mentioned pay gap and the various challenges a modern woman in Serbia faces.
