Some of us lived through the feminist movement of the '60s and the '70s, and grew up during bra-burning, equal pay for equal work, Roe vs. Wade , the Pill, the National Organization for Women, and the emergence of women as players and employers in the workforce. Women outnumber men on college campuses. Over 40 percent of today's medical and law-school graduates are women. Women sit on the Supreme Court, serve in the President's Cabinet, and run colleges as presidents. Women outlive men, and, therefore, ultimately decide property disposition.
More women vote than men.
A woman has run for vice president on the Democratic ticket, and Elizabeth Dole credibly contends for the Republican presidential nomination. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, for good or for ill, spearheaded the Administration's effort in the war in Kosovo. In the information age, where brains, teamwork, and camaraderie are important, women bosses may have an advantage. Exceptions abound, but many female managers simply approach business in a different way than do men. Women tend to seek input from employees rather than issue edicts in a top-down fashion.
