Entrepreneurship Is The New Women's Movement!
I got this article from LinkedIn this morning and thought it was pretty interesting. Women were just recently trying to get out of the home and now it seems we are trying to get back into the home and work as entrepreneurs simultaneously!
I wonder with digital media and digital marketing being at an all time high, how these tools will affect the businesses that women start. I know a few stay at home moms that sellAvon or pampered chef and they use their facebooks to stimulate demand and offer sales.

I used to nanny for a women that was a stay at home mom / entrepreneur. She started a Administrative consulting business with a couple of other entrepreneurs in the Raleigh area. She is a CPA so she consults on accounting practices and streamlining processes within small companies' finance departments.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be a pretty good gig. For the most part she stayed at home but would land several projects through out the year that were anywhere from three weeks to six weeks long (thus the need for nanny during the business times).

I love that this article highlights women. I think my favorite part is that women have been starting more businesses than men for the past 20 years!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very empowering article, sorry men! That is pretty cool that we've been starting more business. I think it’s the way things are now unfortunately. The role of women is changing and women feel like they have to do what they need to provide for their family. That might be a large part of the motivation for starting businesses.
ReplyDeleteI agree, very empowering. In my ten years in the corporate world, I have seen on several occasions where I have seen the glass ceiling at work. It is nice to read about those who are taking matters into their own hands!
ReplyDeleteYes. Women totally rock. I think I am fortunate to work for a company that recognizes this and we have just as many women at the top as men.
ReplyDeleteLet's not forget that since the late 90s there have been more women getting undergraduate degrees than men. I know too it's the case at the grad level but I don't know when women became the majority. However, men still outnumber women in MBA programs (nationally but not at Meredith). So, as older men retire, the best educated eventually will rise up as more stereotypes are minimized.
ReplyDeleteHere is a link to recent data on the percentage of women in MBA programs. Still in the 30% range like it was when I got my MBA in the late 80s.
