PINK magazine INTRODUCES the GAME CHANGERS: The TOP 15 WOMEN in BUSINESS, SHAKING things UP from Hollywood to Wall Street
Plus – Gloria Steinem on Women's History, Media and Business; a Money Makeover; Hot Cars Women Love; and More Women are Paying Alimony
ATLANTA – January 30, 2007 – In the February.March issue of PINK magazine, PINK and Forté Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to increasing the number of women business leaders, name America's top women in business in 2007. Today, success at work includes authenticity, but only about 49 percent of women at a recent PINK conference feel comfortable expressing their femininity at work. PINK and these game changers think it's time to shake things up.
MS. STEINEM
Women have come a long way since Gloria Steinem, Ms. magazine founder and feminist icon, began her quest for equality. In the 1960s, women earned 59 cents for every dollar men were paid; they now earn 77. Steinem tells PINK: "If you consider where we were when the women's movement started, people were still saying women don't need the pay. They have husbands. It's just extra money. That's a huge change." In our exclusive interview, Steinem tells PINK about the progress women have made – and how far they have to go.
MY MONEY MAKEOVER
Women are less likely than men to hold a losing investment too long and are less likely to make the same mistake twice. Women like Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz, president of Charles Schwab Foundation, are famous for their investing savvy, but what do other women need to know about finances? PINK's financial experts examine three very different women's portfolios and offer advice.
CRAZY FOR CARS
Who says only men have the drive for a hot set of wheels? Marketing experts say a person's car offers clues about personality and even deep psychological issues. PINK talks to several women about what they drive and why. Test yourself – who drives what? And what does your Ferrari, Prius, Mercedes or Mini Cooper say about you?
PRENUPS ARE A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND
Forty-four percent of attorneys report an increase in women asking for prenuptial agreements over the last five years. Kim Shamsky wishes she'd asked for one, as she now pays thousands in alimony. "I will never marry again. And I'm getting T-shirts made with the word 'Prenup' written across the chest," she says. Men receiving alimony is becoming increasingly common. Find out what women need to know about prenups.
PINK-SLIPPED
Food for thought when buying sweets for your sweetie this Valentine's Day: Nestlé gets this issue's PINK slip for having no women on its executive board. Find out what its competitors are doing.
