Women With 2020 Vision

Women haven't always had the right to vote. From such diverse voices as John Stuart Mill and Cokie Roberts, the absolute right of both women and men to vote has been affirmed. And yet, resistance to women's suffrage even by women themselves has a long and painful history. In this exciting volume, thirteen theologians and religious leaders in America look back at the historic victory in 1920 when women in the United States won the right to vote. They then assess the current situation and speak into the future. Women with 2020 Vision: American Theologians on the Voice, Vote, and Vision of Women commemorates the 100th anniversary of women in the United States obtaining the right to vote, a story that must be told and retold and reflected upon in light of the current sociopolitical-theological realities.

Have you ever felt frustrated because you had big goals that you just couldn't seem to accomplish? Or, maybe you got overwhelmed and discouraged because God gave you a vision, but it seemed like it was taking too long. This is precisely where L'areal Lipkins found herself! After getting tired of recycling the same goals year-after-year, L'areal set out to discover why 92% of people who set goals never achieve them.

In this book you will learn: - How to get out the Goal Setting Trap.- Why you struggle to stay motivated and on track. - How to move from creating a plan to executing it.- Why fear and failure are just what you need to succeed. - Four steps to elevate your mindset to align with your goals.A Woman With Vision proves that making your dreams a reality isn't as hard as you think. It's about realizing your power, breaking through mental barriers, and doing the work every single day.

2020 Women of Vision is a celebration of women who have carved successful careers in fields that up until just a few years ago would simply not have been accessible to them.Each one of the 2020 Women of Vision is a ground-breaker, spearheading the wonderful drive that all women are capable of, but which sometimes lies dormant as we yield to the stereotypes and perceived barriers which can have a profound effect upon the success and fulfilment in our chosen career path.Worcestershire based photographer, Angela Fitch, hopes that the stories behind the images will inspire the next generation of women and those who return to work or make career changes. She says that every single woman who worked with her on the project has faced challenges, juggled commitments and worked hard to get where they are today, but they have done it and, as many say in their own words, "If I can do it then so can you".2020 Women of Vision is a perfect read for any woman, (or man) who faces the challenges of building a successful, rewarding and enjoyable career.

Ten years ago, the first edition of this book asked why there was such a low number of women filling leadership roles and outlined what it took for women to succeed in their careers. Since then, headline numbers have gone up but has there been real change? This new edition continues a deep investigation into underlying issues and coaching responses. Building on the first edition’s original research with the London School of Economics, the authors revisit all assumptions, adding millennials and beyond, as well as a broader selection of industry sectors. In this book, you will find: How to build a business case for coaching women specific to your organisation. Which areas of coaching are the most useful at which stage of long careers – not just age. Refreshed interviews with past and new women leaders. Specific tools and techniques to develop women leaders and build more women-friendly organisations. The original research clearly stands, so do the core elements of coaching that lead to success. This book will be of great interest to coaches, women leaders, professional managers and academics.

This textbook for courses on women and politics thematically integrates two profound historical developments focusing on women's political participation in contemporary public life in the United States. The second wave of women’s rights activism has now spanned a half century producing a revolution in women’s presence and influence in the public realm of American life. Over the course of this same era, however, a second phenomenon of rising economic inequality has also dramatically changed the American landscape. Burrell’s text uniquely examines the effect of the age of inequality on women’s advancement toward economic and political equality and in turn how policy initiatives of the women’s movement have addressed inequality issues. Students will come to better understand what’s at stake in the politics and policy issues from the women’s rights movement to the "war on women" debate. Explaining a diverse set of issues and viewpoints, Burrell brings a fresh approach to the engagement of women in the public realm over the past half century. Framing this activism in the great economic divide of the same time period provides a thought-provoking, challenging, and broad thematic approach to this history. The text chronicles the many diverse types of actions women have taken in the contemporary era to achieve gender equity, empowerment, and a greater public voice. Women—both liberal feminist and conservative— have run for and been elected to positions of leadership at all levels of government. Women have formed organizations to lobby for equity in employment and education, in the military and to promote reproductive rights. They have engaged in unconventional political activities marching against and protesting the actions and policies of economic corporations and governmental institutions. Women with few economic resources have joined together to challenge local power structures. In addition to efforts to improve the lives and status of women in the United States, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) have formed to promote global women’s rights. Readers of this text will gain a great appreciation of the multiple political voices of American women and the challenges to continued unequal voices.
