High profile businesswomen should act as role models during the recovery Yesterday we witnessed a very public clash between The Guardian’s Tanya Gold and the editor of British Vogue and overall fashion heavyweight, Alexandra Shulman. The Gold vs. Shulman case can be summarised as follows. In an interview with Observer Magazine, Ms Shulman commented that once a woman has a child she will become aware of the significant damage being done to her career trajectory as a result of the time spent away from the labour market. Shulman also remarked that she was all too aware of the differences in terms of pay between men and women doing the same job. Disappointing observations, but so far so true.

Deficit cutting measures are forcing women out of public life Today (8 March) marks the 101th anniversary of International Women’s Day. Undoubtedly this special day, celebrated by women and men all around the world, gives us all the opportunity to collectively reflect on the progress, achievements and successes of women past and present. And there have been many.

Women’s Problems Today, the Equality and Human Rights Commission published the findings of theirSex and Power 2011 report with overwhelmingly disappointing results for women whose aspirations extend beyond the ‘marzipan level’ of senior management. The report – which provides an index of women in positions of power and influence – found that more than 5,400 women are missing from the Britain’s 26,000 most powerful posts- a trend which currently shows no sign of subsiding.
