The deeper I go, the more feminist I become! Yet my experience of academic philosophy has largely disclosed the opposite: a discipline that solemnly declares its devotion to openness proves curiously unsettled by me as a woman.

The EEOC's lawsuit against Coca-Cola Beverages Northeast claims that the women's networking event was a form of unlawful discrimination against male employees under federal civil rights law.

We are now realising we deserve more and for me it's teaching women what to say so they get taken seriously. Women on the whole - I wasn't - aren't very good at standing up for ourselves.

The library was to hold material relating to women's work, too. This year's centenary is an opportunity to celebrate the institution's unique holdings.

Caregiving strain is the cognitive, emotional, and logistical burden of coordinating care for children, parents, or other dependents, and it was found to be the most powerful predictor of workforce exit.

These findings indicate that men who perceive the #tradwife movement favorably believe that they rely on women for intimacy and simultaneously resent that this is the case.

"Men's time doing housework is about the same as it was in the 1970s, and that's true whether or not the woman earns more money or the man earns more money."

In 1960, 72% of adults were married, and over 90% would go on to marry. HR policies and management practices back then catered to nuclear families with a lone, male breadwinner. Today, dual-career couples and working mothers are common, largely due to the growth of women in the workforce in the second half of the 20th century.

Companies with a higher number of women in senior roles are significantly more likely to dismiss male perpetrators of abuse against female colleagues, according to recent analysis.

The latest study published in March by the Centre for Economic Performance indicates that although the career trajectories of men and women are similar before becoming parents, their paths diverge starkly after the birth of their first child.

The Pregnancy Discrimination Act protects pregnant employees from workplace discrimination based on your pregnancy. Additionally, the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act requires your employer to provide reasonable accommodations for pregnancy-related conditions. For maternity leave, the Family and Medical Leave Act (federal law) entitles eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave following childbirth if you've worked at your company for at least a year.

"A cultural shift was needed on the job sites-not only in the minds of the workers, but also in the physical layout of a site. It may sound trivial, but placing two porta-potties at a build site instead of just one that everyone uses-measures like that are important for developing an inclusive culture."

Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that women are more likely than men to work fully remotely, with about 16.4 % of women working entirely from home compared with 10.5 % of men in late 2024. Surveys and workforce reports also consistently find that women, especially mothers and caregivers, are more likely to choose or remain in remote roles because of caregiving responsibilities and the unaffordability of childcare.

Despite owning nearly half of all small businesses in the U.S., women often encounter barriers to financing. I've seen from my experience at the SBA and now First Women's Bank, that one of the biggest drivers of the gender lending gap isn't just rejection, it's that many women don't come forward for financing at all. Whether due to lack of awareness, confidence, or systemic hurdles, "access" captures both those who are denied and those who never apply.
