Women in business are making strides in the workplace, but too often take for granted how hard the journey has been. Every now and then it is worth the time to take notice of just how far we have come....and even more important to realize just how far we need to go...

In 1984, I was 32 years old and manager of a Diet Center, consulting men and women on what to eat to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. My salary was hourly plus commission on whatever I was able to sell to customers. Yes, what I made was exactly the national average for women then of about $.55 for a man's dollar. I loved my job and worked hard, but had to balance it with Mom duties of getting home in time for the school bus. There were very few options for childcare in 1984 for part-time working women. But I wouldn't have had it any other way anyway as the majority of the women I knew worked part-time or not at all.

During my years in publishing, I was bombarded by press releases of the first woman chosen to be this and the first woman to be nominated for that and the first woman to be hired for whatever.... and every time I received one I published it with vigor and enthusiasm as firsts for women are important for all women!

I believe that women in business must acknowlege their place in the current business climate in the United States, and in doing this, must celebrate our accomplishments, of which there are many, but also must accept the obstacles that still plague us. Why do I say this? I just finished reading "The New Soft War On Women" and there is no denying that women have come along way (baby) but, the journey has stalled and may be flowing backwards.
