One of the most vexing problems of the last 25 years is the fact that despite the great progress made by Western women, they occupy very few top political and corporate posts. 13% of the members of the House of Representatives, and 13% of corporate officers are women. How then can women share in the leadership and be able to shape the society that they live in? What women have accomplished so far is the first stage only. There is a need for a new approach, a second stage, in which women use the awesome power they possess. They have 50% of the vote and 85% of all retail purchases are made by th

The principle of equal pay for women and men is one of the most crucial issues for gender equality in employment, as pay disparities between women and men have remained one of the most persistent forms of inequality between the genders. The book considers how the principled idea of equal pay gradually developed and became an international norm, Equal Remuneration Convention No. 100 of the ILO, and how it was connected to different policy discourses at the international level between 1848 and 2000. In addition, the book considers how the Convention was implemented in nine different countries

The revolutionary overhaul of the American health care system is long overdue. Equal Health Care For All, our 21st century declaration of independence, describes the necessary fundamental changes, delivers a comprehensive, coherent plan to accomplish them, and informs our politicians in Washington, D.C. that time is up. Their pandering to the health care lobby, their hiding behind phrases designed to sustain the health care economic marketplace for the elite, and their deafness to the voices calling for relief are destructive to millions of individual Americans and to our country. Politicians
