Great post, Priti. I think this would be very helpful for women entrepreneurs or who are in small businesses. I have included your post in ‘Best of the Web’ http://bit.ly/j3bestweb , Facebook http://ow.ly/cMCDn and Google+ http://gplus.to/bestofweb. Thank you.
Great resource!! Thanks so much for sharing. Someone I’ve found inspiring and a wonderful resource is Jill Salzman, @foundingmom. Check her out!
This seems a little sad. Perhaps because I have always treated women as people, as I treat everyone, the need for this article surprised me a little. I hope women feel they have the ability, certainly in the developed world, to reach for their dreams!
