Sarah G.P-
You bring up an interesting point about how females are not seen in positions of power. Given Mr. Orwell's intelligence, this can't be mere coincidence. I think that Orwell's point is less about gender discrimination in modern government, and more reflective of the generally patriarchal societies of history. If we look at Babylonian, Chinese, Roman, and even contemporary societies in Arab countries, females are suppressed and dominated by male agendas. It's more difficult to maintain power through a "Big Sister" than Big brother.
