Our schools – even at the collegiate and graduate levels – prepare students to get jobs, not create meaningful, paid work that reflects their talent and abilities. Our systems – political and economic – do not pay women equal wages, and consistently keep them out of the most influential positions. Our socialization processes – how girls are raised into women – promote safety and security over taking calculated risks. All of these leave women without the skills, income, access, or outlook they need to build wealth in our global economy.
