Book Description :
Genre : Educational, Career & Study Advice
Written By : Makheni Zonneveld
This book is part of Project awomansplace. The objective is to have an online conversation on the kind of society we want our children and their children to inherit. The focus is on how we can remake our society by remaking the workplace.
We need to change the way society treats women but are solving the right problem?
Is a woman’s place is in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant or in the boardroom, at the top of the ladder? Is replacing fifty percent of a few male executives with a few women tantamount to promoting gender equality and empowering women? Should work be a number one priority? Will history judge us harshly for sacrificing our children for the greed that we call ambition. I do not have the answers. That is why I invite you to a conversation.
