Women Leap Off Corporate Ladder
In
history, there was a long time when woman was legally treated as subsidiary of man. During all her life, man was her owner or manager. A woman should obey what her man or her father said and serve the man’s need. There was no need to have education, knowledge was a sign of status. For this reason, women had no right in politics and no one would hire a person lacking in skills and knowledge. However, conditions have changed.
