GAL Gadot (pic) was raised to believe that gender should be no barrier to achievemen­t and has always had aspiration­s to be the best she can at whatever she sets her mind to.

Gadot said: “My mum raised my sister and me to be confident women with aspiration­s. And I always felt capable. I'm not saying that I'm stronger than most men ... but we all have the same brains and we can achieve the same things.”

But the 32-year-old beauty – who has daughters Alma, five, and Maya, six weeks, with husband Yaron Versano – thinks society has a long way to go before the sexes are deemed to be equal.

She told Marie Claire: “There's a long way to go until we can make gender a non-issue. I don't know if it'll ever happen. I'm hoping it will because life would be so much cooler and less complicate­d then. Also, for men, by the way.”

While Gadot – who will be seen in the upcoming Wonder Woman, is happy to “fight for good”, she doesn't particular­ly enjoy getting embroiled in conflict.

She said: “I don't enjoy conflict in my life. Unlike Wonder Woman, I'm not a fighter (but) I will fight for good.” – Bang Showbiz
