"The sisterhood thing is give or take. I'm perfectly good without that. The thing about women, particularly those who would be involved in a group like Golden Seeds, is they are mavens, they are trendsetters. They are dedicated to helping women entrepreneurs succeed." Golden Seeds, founded in 2004, has so far invested in 17 companies, from consumer-focused ventures like gDiapers, maker of the world's first flushable baby diaper, to more technology-heavy start-ups like eJamming Inc., a software platform for musicians to collaborate
Of the many successful women out there, I have chosen three. Women who are not afraid of the public’s opinion and impression of them. For example: Mary Mc Aleese had to deal with the contrast of being ambassador for Ireland whilst the country went through major recession. Hillary Clinton had to deal with the opposition people contradicting her as she ran for the first female president of the United States. A famous female inventor I know of was Virginia Apgar.
In the 20th century, women in most nations won the right to vote, this in return increased their educational and job opportunities. Which is a good thing compared to tests that were done in the 1960s that showed that women’s scholastic achievement were higher in early grades than in high school because the teachers and families of girls did not expect them to peruse anything but being a wife and mother (wic.org). I would say that that we have come a long way from the early 20th century. Women in positions of power or women who want to work their way to a position of power still tend to have a glass ceiling over them. This is because history tells us that men hold these types of positions women are gaining and proving that they can do just as well as a man in a position of power.
In my point of view from all the research I have done women tend to have more interest in political events and are interested in what is happening around them and how it is going to affect them and their families. Another example of a woman role model in politics is Ms. Sonia Sotomayor. She was in a poor position since a young age but as she expressed her feelings and continued to have excellent grades she progressed; after all the hard work she has put into her education she is now the 1st Hispanic women and 3rd in line female to become an associate justice in the supreme
This work opportunity was something out of the ordinary. These women would be able to help their families by bringing in extra income. The idea that women could work to better their family situations seemed to be a good idea at the time. The mill girls turned raw cotton into cloth using machinery. This was a big business in New England.
Surely, gender is not the main factor to decide that who can do good job in military because women can be a good sodier in some duties. Besides, women should be allowed into combat because of the following reasons: women can do good at leadership position, increasing more jobs for women today and women can do some specific jobs that male can not complete. First of all, women can do good at leadership position. In the past decades, women did not allowed to join in high positions such as: CEO, boss, manager or they could not allowed to run for president because women are emotional. In addition, people thought that women are too sensitive when they face to problems so they often solve the problems by their heart than their mind.
Tim O’Connor Family Interview My Mother My mother has been one of the hardest working women that I have ever known in my life so I decided to sit down and have an interview with her. See how she got there, why she chose to take the jobs she did. I learned a very interesting thing talking to her. Her first job was at Social Security as soon as she got out of High School. At this time you did not need a college degree to work in this industry and she got the job after her first interview.
“Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily this is not difficult” Charlotte Whitton, First Female Mayor of Ottawa. From 1914 to the current day, women’s status has drastically changed and shaped Canada. Women’s status has changed the economy, the overall perspective of women and the family life. Before world war one, women had little to no rights and were owned by men however, today women are more empowered than ever.
There has been a significant rise of women entrepreneurs in recent history making them more independent and confident. Women have been able to develop leadership quality managerial skills for succeeding in business (Mehta & Parekh, 2014). Being able to set my own schedule will allow me independence and to be there for my family for all of the memories we will make. As Mehta & Parekh put it, true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence (2014). Being my own boss, providing my own financial security will give me confidence and independence in life; something that I truly
Over one hundred years ago, many people believed that a woman’s place was in the home, cooking, cleaning, and raising kids. Things have changed tremendously in America since the 19th century. Women now have rights that they didn’t have before. There are now plenty more opportunities available for women to succeed, unlike the 19th Century when women weren’t given any opportunities to do so. In the 19th century, women weren’t allowed to vote or run for office.
