Some of the first images that come to mind when we think of women are homemakers, breakfast lunch and dinner makers, laundry doer, and the taking care of children. There is nothing wrong with these roles, and is greatly appreciated by the majority of people, but is it wrong to think women can do more than just their roles at home?

Women are continually growing in their roles as not only participants in the business world, but also leaders in this field. Women such as Sheryl Sandberg, Abigail Johnson, Ellen Cullman and more are proving that they can do more and follow their ambitions regardless of what the media, social opinions, or Hollywood have to say about it. Women are no longer held to the idea of being secretaries or the assistant to the business leaders, but are in fact leaders themselves.

It’s time to not only accept the fact that women are helping in the business world to make improvements in their own way, but to also help promote the idea that women offer different strengths that can bring more success to the business world. This is not necessarily an issue about equality, but about bringing improvement from all directions regardless of gender, race, or other statuses.
