    Feminism seeks to establish equal political, economic, and social rights for women as well as equal opportunities in education and employment. The early 20th century suffragette movement helped women gain the right to vote. Women have increasingly entered the workforce since World War II, altering the Western economy. The women's liberation movement of the 1960s and 1970s pushed for greater political representation of women and legalized abortion. Today, women make most consumer purchasing decisions and represent most university graduates and talent in many countries. Companies with more women in leadership tend to outperform those with fewer women in leadership roles.

    Eve in the Business World

    Feminism is a collection of movements aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, and social rights for women. In addition, feminism seeks to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment. A feminist is a "person whose beliefs and behavior are based on feminism." Though we adore men individually, We agree that as a group theyre rather stupid. So cast off the shackles of yesterday; Shoulder to shoulder into the fray. . . . From Kensington to Billingsgate one hears the restless cry From every corner of the land: Womankind, arise! Political equality and equal rights with men. . . . No more the meek and mild subservients, we; Were fighting for our rights, militantly. . . . Winifred Banks Poppins (1964) (Glynis Johns), Sister Suffragettes, in Mary

    If pressed to identify the most influential cultural development in Western civilization of the twentieth century, we believe a good case could be made for choosing feminism. The womans suffrage movement of the early part of the century changed the political system by giving women, both married and unmarried, the vote. The suffragettes and feminists of the early twentieth century were culturally conservative by todays standards. They were at the forefront of the temperance movement that outlawed the sale of alcoholic beverages for a time. Prohibition and its repeal contributed to major changes in the structure of crime in America and led to widespread skepticism about the possibility of legislating morality. The early feminists were generally opposed to abortion, though they led the effort to develop and legitimize contraception. Forced into the workforce in record numbers during World War II, the rise of women in the workplace has continued to alter the economy of the Western world. Associated issues and controversies have included such difficult matters as sexual harassment, the rise of the day care and latch-key kids, welfare for single mothers, and gender-based affirmative action. The civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s was in part inspired by the suffrage and early feminist movements. In turn the womens liberation

    movement of the 1960s and 1970s pushed for political representation of women in government, fueled the sexual revolution, brought about the legalization of abortion, and sparked debates in every denomination about womens ordination and the relationship of husband and wife in the home. Inspired by both the civil rights and womens liberation movements, the homosexual rights movement began building momentum in the 1970s and by the 1990s was dramatically altering the cultural landscape. In the 1980s and 1990s women have turned in increasing numbers to goddess worship, Wicca, and other New Age types of religious and spiritual expression. Meanwhile, in mainline Protestant churches feminism has successfully pushed for the publication of new Bible translations and liturgies that remove references to God as Father or Jesus as Son.

Most of the talent - women represent 60% of university graduates in Europe and North America. 3.
