Why Women Should Rule the World

Dee Dee Myers, former White House Press Secretary recently wrote a book detailing how women make a significant contribution in society when they are given high-powered roles. Myers examines different biological traits between women and men, and how that impacts the workplace. She asserts that women work better cooperatively and accomplish more in comparison to men in similar positions. She also stresses the importance of motherhood and how it hones skills that are very useful in the workplace like multi-tasking and innovative problem solving. There are interesting case studies with personal stories of high-powered women highlighting the challenges they have faced in breaking glass ceiling. However, Myers emphasizes that even when women make it to the top, they are still treated differently from their male counterparts and have to fight hard to be heard and taken seriously. This is a provocative read and very timely! Good Luck today Hillary.
