"Consider Bangladesh. After it split off from Pakistan, Bangladesh began to educate girls in a way that Pakistan has never done. The educated women staffed an emerging garment industry and civil society, and those educated women are one reason Bangladesh is today far more stable than Pakistan."
-Nicholas D. Kristof, "Divorced Before Puberty" March 3, 2010
He makes some pretty interesting points. Although, I should add that women in the Bangladeshi garment industry are often looked down upon by society (even today) because of the "independent" nature of their lives.
