Women in the Business World

Paper Summary:

This paper relates that, although strides are being made, the number of women in higher-level positions is not increasing at as rapid a pace as compared to their male counterparts. The author points out that many women are leaving the corporate world to start their own businesses. The paper suggests that this trend may eventually help women in their efforts to rise to the top of the business world.

From the Paper:

"Many, if not most, Americans growing up in the last three decades have played the game Monopoly. And, many, if not most, of those people can state precisely who designed the game: a man named Charles Darrow. Yet a woman named Lizzie McGee, who eventually had her rights purchased for a minimal amount, created an early form of Monopoly. Despite having her patent recognized when the first version of the game was registered, McGee's name is unrecognized by all but a few people familiar with the game (Sharpe, 2004, par.1)."
