  Today we are witnessing the electric-dipole revolution in chiral
measurements. Here we reflect on its lessons and outcomes, such as the
perspective on chiral measurements using the complementary principles of
"chiral reagent" and "chiral observer", the hierarchy of scalar, vectorial and
tensorial observables, the new properties of the chiro-optical response in the
ultrafast and non-linear domains, and the geometrical magnetism associated with
the chiral response in photoionization. The electric-dipole revolution is a
landmark event. It has opened routes to extremely efficient
enantio-discrimination with a family of new methods. These methods are governed
by the same principles but work in vastly different regimes -- from microwaves
to optical light; they address all molecular degrees of freedom -- electronic,
vibrational and rotational, and use flexible detection schemes, i.e. detecting
photons or electrons, making them applicable to different chiral phases, from
gases to liquids to amorphous solids. The electric-dipole revolution has also
enabled enantio-sensitive manipulation of chiral molecules with light. This
manipulation includes exciting and controlling ultrafast helical currents in
vibronic states of chiral molecules, enantio-sensitive control of populations
in electronic, vibronic and rotational molecular states, and opens the way to
efficient enantio-separation and enantio-sensitive trapping of chiral
molecules. The word "perspective" has two meanings: "outlook" and "point of
view". In this perspective article, we have tried to cover both meanings.
