Summary/Abstract: As we are reading reports and recommendations on the impact the crisis caused by COVID-19 has on women, hoping that something would be done about it (or to be more precise: some things, having in mind many different ways in which the crisis impacts women), because of our inability to predict when the crisis would come to an end, we fall short to assess, foresee and prevent the consequences it will have on women. Once the time comes to take protective masks off, what will the future of women look like? How frail were the victories won prior to COVID-19 and can we still expect the future to be female?
