A little over 25 years ago, my mentor who was a decade older than
me, philosophized that with every passing decade, things would get
easier for women in the future within the business marketplace. The
challenges I faced climbing the proverbial corporate ladder were nothing
compared to the obstacles she had faced. Although I remember thinking
that regardless of the "degree of hardship" that women over the years
faced, hardship is still hardship. Less pain, still implies pain.
Fast forward to 2015, getting ahead in the corporate environment is
still challenging for women (albeit maybe less so than 25 years ago).
However, we now see more and more women as entrepreneurs, mompreneurs
and at the helm of small businesses that they had a hand in starting or
growing.
