Brining A Whole New (Other) Meaning to "Businesswomen" Around The World

The Economist's Schumpeter column, which I often vehemently disagree with for its extreme opinions, hit a home run last week with The Daughter Also Rises: Women Are Storming Emerging-World Boardrooms. It chronicles the sagas of numerous female "businesswomen" (which in Russia has a less than flattering double meaning...who knew? See the article!) in emerging markets around the world and the painful but steady shifts that working, educated even millionaire and billionaire women are making in places where culture has stood firmly to dangerous and lethal beliefs about what half the population can and can't do!
