The variable humanity of women

Sharon Vosmek, BusinessWeek:

Why do we care so much about the future of women in business? There is a robust body of research demonstrating women's impact on job creation and economic growth. One Babson College study I find particularly compelling in today's recessionary climate shows that if female entrepreneurs started with the same capital as their male counterparts, they would add 6 million jobs to the economy in five years -- 2 million in the first year alone. How's that for an economic recovery?

Why do we care so much about the future of women in business? Oh, yes: business.
