How did it happen? Women articulated their needs; practiced hardball strategies; studied the opposition; and were determined to see their decisions, choices, and rights honored.

SINGAPORE: On Jan 8, Liverpool was on top of the English Premier League and looking good for a second successive title. Yet, after Sunday’s (Mar 7) 1-0 loss to Fulham – its sixth home defeat in a row - the champions were sitting 22 points behind leaders Manchester City. In the previous two seasons, Liverpool lost a total of four league games but, incredibly the Reds, so dominant in winning the 2019 to 2020 title, lost the same amount in February alone. Head coach Jurgen Klopp admitted that the title is now out of his team’s reach thanks to the dip in its form and a resurgent City. The worry now is that the six-time European champions will fail to finish in the top four and will miss out on qualification for the prestigious and lucrative UEFA Champions League next season.

This is the oldest case of giving birth at the hospital, said Dr Mai Quang Trung, head of the General Planning Department of the hospital. The woman and her husband have two children, one of whom unfortunately died in a traffic accident long ago. Despite their age, the couple had longed to have a new baby, but tried in vain. In 2010 the couple visited Thanh Hoa Obstetrics Hospital to ask for help. At the time, the woman was 60 and her husband was 68. “It was a difficult case as the woman had suffered from postmenopausal syndrome for seven years while her husband’s semen had no longer produced any sperms. I initially refused,” Dr Trung recalled. “As they insisted, we decided to give them a try”. Because the woman’s ovary had shrunk, the couple had to apply for an egg to do artificial insemination with the husband’s sperm, then transplant the embryo back to her womb to become pregnant.
