Women Wednesday: Ode to SJP
How can we not like Sarah Jessica Parker
? She's a mother, a wife, accomplished actress, entrepreneur, fashionista and in my opinion a true motivation. Through her role as Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City, she opened the doors to how women really can be and can really think. Granted not every woman thinks like her or the other characters, but it was nice to see that not all women are silent and shy about not just their sexuality but their relationships with others and what they expect from them. She opened the eyes of society about what women want and how we act...when we think no one is looking.

I enjoy watching what Sarah Jessica Parker has in store for us next and can't wait to see how she challenges our views on the "modern day woman."

Why Men STILL Make More Money Than Women
Why Men STILL Make More Money Than Women (via Excelle)
Unfortunately it is a sad truth that women still get paid less than men, now at $0.77 less per dollar than men. I've always wondered why? If women are getting more and better education than men and it has been proven that companies with a higher rate of women executives tend to do better, why is it still a problem in 2011 that women can't get an equal pay rate as their male counterparts?
Excelle explores some of the stereotypes and myths surrounding this issue:
What I liked about this article is how they offered advice to women for how to be an ambitious woman while tackling the misogynistic myths. Check them out and tell me what you think!

From one ambitious woman to another...Women run the world, Men just think they do. ;)

Excelle explores some of the stereotypes and myths surrounding this issue:
- Men are assertive...Women are aggressive. When men have ideas they speak up, are heard, are paid attention too. The more a woman speaks up the more she is looked at as being too aggressive, trying to hard, or bitchy.
- Men are passionate...Women are emotional. We're humans. When we feel strongly about something it is in our nature to express our inner most thoughts, but unfortunately it's seen as a trait of weakness when women speak up about their passion.
- Men scream...Women mutter. Even if the idea is silly or irrelevant, the fact that a man is willing to speak up is the reason why they are taken more seriously than women.
- Men steer...Women support
- Men are casual...Women are coquettes. The moment women showcase their more fashionable side at their jobs, they are almost always seen as being inappropriately dressed. Too much cleavage, too much leg, and you're looked as the office slutbucket.

Forbes Billionaire List 2011: Women Billionaires
Forbes
recently put out their 2011 list of billionaires. It was interesting to notice that the first nine people were all men. Not that that is a problem, we salute you, but where are the women? According to the Center for Women's Business Research: Women own 10.6 million businesses in the United States. They employ 19.1 million workers--that's one in every seven employees.
Their businesses account for $2.5 trillion in sales. [According to a study in December 2004]. Sure we know about the Oprah's and Trumps, but where are all the other women billionaires? Below is the top 15 women billionaires in the world according to their rank.
