A Research Article On Women

Lesley Gillespie, the cofounder of Australia’s most successful bakery, Baker’s Delight, has shown many, if not all, of the traits required to be a successful entrepreneur, and is now on the BRW Rich Women 2015 list. In an equal partnership with husband Roger, her position as joint chief executive puts her on the list of a minority of business owned by women, especially in the 1980’s when Bakers Delight was opened. Though she has said that she has not faced many barriers to being a woman in business, apart from a few instances, a woman would likely not have made it to be so successful without focus, thinking of those around her, passion, self motivation and without being a hard worker, all of which are traits required to be an entrepreneur.

These women, although they lived in a third world country, have the skill and gumption to go into business for themselves, and “be their own boss”. In the United States, more women have the ability

Steve Craig, in his article Men’s Men and Women’s Women especially define how different sexes in advertisement can influence a particular audience towards a product; one stereotypical method he describes is “Men’s Women” (Craig).One such ad using sex appeal, and a basic structure of “Men’s Women” to bring in customer was made by BMW in 2008 to sell their used cars. BMW, which is a world-renowned company known for its performance heavy automobiles, targets a male audience by comparing a gorgeous woman to their cars.This ad by BMW, who no doubt make amazing cars, degrade women through its message, and it enforces Steve Craig’s “Men’s women” tactic, but this ad also goes a step further and displays the ever-present patriarchy in advertisement overtly.

Many people have their own views on the Small Business Administration. Two women who know about the SBA have their own opinions about the overall administration in an article called, “Should the Small Business Administration be Abolished?” The women’s names are Veronique de Rugy and Barbara Kasoff. Ms. de Rugy wrote a small article with the title, “Yes: It Is a Waste of Money.” Ms. Kasoff goes against what Ms. de Rugy and creates an article with the title as, “Its Role Is a Crucial One.” In Ms. de Rugy’s article she goes off saying, “...the SBA hurts more small businesses than it helps, wastes taxpayer money, and distorts economic activity.” Opposing what Ms. de Rugy said Barbara Kasoff believes that, “About half of the people who work in this country are employed by a small business.” She also

First, I would like to congratulate Shania Jackson for endeavoring to open a Christian coffee shop as she would possibly be a part of a group of women-owed businesses across the United States that has added to the economy by expanding jobs, and generating 3 trillion dollars in revenue each year. Moreover, women-owned businesses were responsible for employing 6.4% of the working population of the U.S, equating to 7.6 million people employed in 2007 (Mee,2012). Unfortunately, women are less likely to use formal sources of acquiring capital to fund their businesses due to feeling disrespected by their financial institutions, and will obtain funding from their personal resources and network, and for this reason, Shania’s husband Marvin

Entrepreneurs are an essential part of stimulating the economy while creating new businesses as a key driver in any economy. With entrepreneurship comes struggle and a host of barriers that interfere with achieving a successful career path. Two prominent female entrepreneurs encountered similar struggles throughout their careers that dealt with family issues, public and media criticism as well as negative encounters with the law. With a variety of business approaches and personalities, Martha Stewart, a highly successful businesswoman, turned everyday household activities into a multi-million dollar empire and Martha Billes, also a richly successful businesswoman, fought hard to take ownership of Canadian Tire at the age of 61. Both entrepreneurs faced the adversities of being women growing up in the 1940’s, where society held negative views against them because they were expected to be domestic stay at home mothers and wives rather than businesswomen, and also based on the many similar flaws in their career paths such as their numerous times in court, ugly divorces and being targeted for their stern personalities. However their passion, stern attitudes, and alternate mindsets inspired and drove them to do whatever it took to succeed, regardless of what critics said. It was because of their lack of family support, public disapproval, and experiences with the court of law that developed their similar stern and ambitious personalities that allowed them to become great

In twenty-century, women become more independent in the society. According to A Century of Women, Deborah Felder analyzes the history of women have their own rights through history. The book talks about the suffrage and events in women history. The book divides each chapter decades-by-decades basis, which gives clear information to readers to understand the events from the history.

According to the author, on the late of 1990’s were an estimated 600 to 3000 trafficked women and girls in Bosnia and Herzegovina and other 120,000 women and children each year were trafficked through the Balkan region to the countries of European Union. After the Dayton Peace was signed to help people to rebuild after the war in the 1990’s in Yugoslavia, new ‘’business’’ was opened in small bars and nightclubs near the military facility. Those women who worked there were from Moldovia, Romania, Ukraine, Russia, and from Belarus and Bulgaria. Most of them experienced physical, psychological and sexual violence and many of them had many transmitted diseases. Those women reported serving many clients per night to satisfy the clients and the

Establishing a relationship with these business owners is important as it relates to the profit and growth of the various concepts in the financial acquisition that involve participants (Bardwell, 2015).

When a business is successful it is able to provide a sustainable income. By having two incomes, the family can better financially support their children, along with their other financial obligations. School will be more affordable for children, and they can see what accomplishments their parents have achieved. Children will gain more responsibilities at home, and help them learn new skills along the way (Sagalla & Carney, 2012). Through all of the obstacles that women have faced struggling for the right to have a career, it can be empowering to have a career. Women did not give up, and knew that they had what it took to support a family, as well as themselves. Because it was a challenge, women started working harder for what they wanted, and helped them become better business women. Their confidence rose, and having more opportunities gave them a purpose (Dina, 2012).

It feels as though most of the time when thinking about psychology and the great contributions that have been made to it, that most of them have been from men, but along the way there have been several influential women that have contributed to the field of psychology as well. Just like men, there were several women who were pioneers, theorists, and counselors; many of these women have contributed to the field of psychology in their own special between the years of 1850 and 1950. Of all these amazing women who are pioneers, theorists, and counselors, the one who stands out the most is Anna Freud. This paper will go on to explain Anna Freud’s

One in five firms with revenue of $1 million or more is woman-owned. 3% of all women-owned firms have revenues of $1 million or more compared with 6% of men-owned firms. According to those statistics we can assume that there are more men-owned business and more men have million dollar business. However , this doesn’t mean that men are more successful than women. Women-owned business tend to last longer as women usually do not take risks and can maintain good standing. Women-owned businesses have less bankruptcy than men-owned businesses. Also women-owned business has grown over time by 44%, which is twice as fast as men-owned firms.
