The New York Times published a series of articles today, focused on women in the workplace. In businesses, where men still are preferred over women, some women decided to make a change. The series of articles starts off pointing out that business is a male dominated world (For Women in the Workplace, an ‘Upgrade Problem’, written by Nicola Clark). However, the series of articles shows hope through the success stories and dreams of women in the workplace.
