Gaining a Foothold: Women's Transitions Through Work and College (1999) (To purchase this report, visit ShopAAUW or call 800/225-9998.) Published in June 1999, this report examines how and why women make changes in their lives through education. Gaining a Foothold probes the decisionmaking of three groups women who go directly from high school to college; women who go directly from high school to full-time work; and women who go from work back to postsecondary education. For each of the three groups, the study explores the motivations, obstacles, and support mechanisms that affect their critical decision, and compares them to the same factors as they affect men. A rich study, Gaining a Foothold relies on both qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitative results draw on responses from 10 focus groups conducted by Lake Snell Perry and Associates in fall 1998. Quantitative results are based on a national telephone survey of 1,070 respondents by DYG, Inc. in December 1998 and January

But increasingly the face of organized labor today is female. The service industry is the fastest growing unionized sector, and many of these janitors, food service workers and the like are women, many of them women of color. In 2002, women made up 42 percent of union members, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, compared to 19 percent in 1962. However, union leadership has changed very little to reflect this. Out of 56 unions in the AFL-CIO AFL-CIO probably will do little to change this; though the chair of the Change to Win coalition is a woman, its leadership is composed mostly of white males. AFL-CIO Nurturing with a vengeance AFL-CIO The taking-care-of business Childcare and home care workers organized by the Service Employees International Union ( SEIU SEIU added 49,000 child care workers, almost all of them women, to the rolls of organized labor this spring when the union organized home childcare workers in Illinois; similar campaigns have also been going on in other states. In the process of organizing home care workers in 10 states

Negotiation Tips Career Indicators Hot Issues Options ... diversity issues Advertisement New Program in Norway Aims To Help Women Executives By J ennifer H amm Information on this page is provided by expatica.com Companies in Norway are keeping up with the Norwegian government's plan: to have 40% of boardroom positions filled by women by the end of the year. When the initiative was first announced in 2002, the government agreed to give companies a few years to increase the number of women sitting on boards of directors from 6% to 40%. If the goal is not met by August 2005, a quota system will be introduced. "We are against the law but we are definitely for having more women in the boardroom," says Sigrun Vaageng, executive director of labour and social affairs for the Confederation of Norwegian Business and Industry (NHO), the primary organisation for the nation's employers. To avoid a quota system, the NHO launched Female Future, a program aimed at developing women employees of joint-stock companies for senior management and boardroom positions. By signing on to the program, companies agree to search within their firm for high potential women, a process referred to by the NHO as "pearl diving." Companies put forward three women to participate in a semester-long training program, where they will learn about the intricacies of being a board member, from corporate governance to ethics to handling crises. Participants are given an opportunity to specialise in areas such as economics. And there is also an emphasis on networking during course sessions and other meetings.

Unclutter Your Life by Stephanie Denton Getting rid of clutter is not about cleaning. It is about increasing focus and decreasing interference. Clutter (n) 1. a crowded or confused mass or collection. 2. interfering echoes visible on a radar screen caused by reflection from objects other than the target. - Webster's Dictionary Someone mentions "clutter." Close your eyes.What do you see? If you're like most, the image closely reflects Webster's first definition. Clutter equals junk. It's stuff that's all mixed up. Although valid, this illustration is not complete, as it depicts only what clutter is without considering what it does. It portrays clutter as passive, without consequence. Yet clutter does have repercussions. It impacts your life. As articulated in Webster's latter definition, it interferes. Clutter diminishes clarity. It occupies space, both physical and mental. It impedes movement and progress, and detracts from efficiency and effectiveness.

WEDNESDAY 4/24/96 ON THE DAY BEFORE "DAUGHTERS TO WORK" DAY, THE ONLINE NEWSHOUR ASKS: HOW ARE WOMEN IN THE WORKFORCE FARING? Is the "Mommy Track" and gender equality in the workplace myth or reality? The pioneering women who have made it to the top, or near-top, of corporate America say they've traded sleep and personal lives for deadlines and around-the-clock crisis management. According to the first large-scale survey of senior female executives, women in high places believe the best explanation for their success is that they consistently exceeded performance expectations. The second most important success strategy of senior management women: developing a personal style less threatening to male managers. Many take up golf and learn to follow sports. Contrary to the preconception that career women give up marriage and children, nearly three-quarters of the women surveyed are married 75 percent are the primary breadwinners in their households. 64 percent have children. Although balance still eludes most career women, many identified domestic help and clear priorities as important to success. Several of the women surveyed report they rise each day at 4 am to do paperwork and spend some time with their husbands and children before heading to work. They often work late into the evening. Physical stamina appears to be a key to success. Are the sacrifices worth it? What do you think? What lessons do the experiences of the first generation of female executives hold for their daughters and granddaughters?

It is no longer newsworthy when an accomplished woman is promoted to lead a business unit or to run a company full of hard-charging men. In fact, more people in the United States now work for women-owned businesses than for the 500 biggest public companies. So why is there still so much tension between men and women at work? Do men and women really lead in different ways? Do they view and use power differently? Must high-achieving women make different sacrifices than men?

September 27, 2005 New York Film Festival Showcases Women's Work Run Date: 07/19/04 By Carla Thompson WeNews correspondent As few female directors get big-budget assignments, festivals such as the Reel Venus festival, opening tomorrow in New York, champion woman-made cinema. NEW YORK (WOMENSENEWS)Los Angeles-based film producer Effie T. Brown says her own success proves that while Hollywood might be a daunting work place for women, it's still doable. "Yes, things are hard but I think it's hard for everybody," says Brown, 32, the African-American producer of "Real Women Have Curves" (2002) and executive producer of the Meg Ryan thriller "In the Cut" (2003). "I know white men who don't have the access I have. You can make it...If I truly believed that (you couldn't make it), why would I go into this business?" Some industry watchers, however, maintain that while the film industry is tough for everyone, the barriers are more formidable for women in search of artistic or financial control over movies. Mo Ogrodnik, assistant professor of writing and directing at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, for instance, told Women's eNews that while some female producers and studio executives have recently gained clout, female directors are still rare when it comes to big-budget projects, such as action movies.

~ Inscription at the Rosie Memorial in Richmond, Calif. From battle-hardened nurses on the front lines to Rosie the Riveters building bombers on production lines, women served their country as never before, and carved out new roles that would forever change the workplace. Before the war, 95 percent of all women in the workforce worked in light manufacturing, retail, clerical, and health and education. In 1940 only one of every 20 production workers in the auto industry was female. By 1944, out of a total membership of more than a million, some 350,000 Rosies were UAW members building planes, tanks and ammunition. They earned $31.21 a week, while men doing the same work earned $54.65.

Women in the workplace Women In The Workplace By Armando Gomez Career Advisor - Every 2nd Thursday It's extremely obvious that women have come a long way as successful professionals. Life in the workplace has become much more diversified as an increased number of women have made their presence felt in many industries and professions. The female task force has expanded with exponential strength, and thus has its dire importance in the professional world. Whether they like it or not, men have to accept, once and for all, that women are marching up the corporate ladder confidently and with full speed ahead. Women used to be much more "quiet and passive" in the workplace due to the relatively small number of female employees in comparison to males. Women today, on the other hand, have begun assuming their positions by using all their God given powers of intelligence and organization. Warren Farrell, author of Why Men Are the Way They Are , explains that men are jealous of the "beauty power" that allows women to get certain things based on their physical assets, so to speak. Perhaps it's less that women use their beauty, and more likely that men judge them based on their physical beauty... food for thought, Mr. Farell.
