For centuries, women's economic contributions were hidden in plain sight. Starting at the textile mills of the Industrial Revolution, bridging to the quiet transformation of the American workplace.
We discuss this through the lens of 4 distinct phases structured by Nobel Prize-winning economist Claudia Goldin in research describing what led women from economic dependence to independence, culminating in what she called the 'quiet revolution' of the late 20th century.
But just as women seemed poised to claim full economic equality, many women are pulling back.. taking what is being referred to as a 'power pause.' The question isn't just about how far we've come, but where we're headed next.
Are we entering a fifth phase of women's economic evolution, or are we stuck in a holding pattern? Join us as we discuss patterns that shaped women's economic destiny and explore what it will take to finally break through to true economic parity.
