Three Young Women Contemplating About the Prosperity of Their Careers

In her work “Three Young Women Contemplating About the Prosperity of Their Careers”, Agate Lielpetere draws upon the myth of success and its proclamation that hard work allows us to achieve anything. With her idiosyncratic humour and a touch of irony, she points to the discrepancy between the myth and a reality in which success is conditioned upon social structures and mechanisms.
