Why Women Mean Business
by Avivah Wittenberg-Cox
Gender is a business issue, not a women's issue.
Never before has there been such a confluence of international attention to the economic importance of women. Their position as consumers, employees and leaders is being recognized as a measure of health, maturity and economic viability. They are becoming central to labor market solutions to the challenges of an ageing workforce, falling birth rates and skill shortages. Countries and companies are urgently seeking policies to enable women to fulfill their potential.
Why Women Mean Business takes the economic arguments for change to the heart of the corporate world. Women today are a majority of the talent pool and make up to 80% of consumer purchases. This powerful new book brings together in a single, concise volume the multiplicity of opportunities available to companies that really understand what motivates women in the global workplace and marketplace.

The Fairmont Chicago
The Transformative Leadership Awards Dinner
Dear NAWL Supporter,
In this time of uncertainty about the long-term viability of the traditional law firm business model one thing is crystal clear: Law firms must find more innovative ways to price and deliver their services and, more importantly, must do a better job of developing all of their lawyers, especially women. Progress in these areas will not accelerate until women are represented in substantial numbers on the key committees that determines the firms’ success.
