2. Education is important for both men and women, but it really helps level the playing field for women.

I spent my career in corporate America in various companies, and a consistent theme was that a female manager would voice an idea that would often be quickly dismissed only to gave a male manager voice the same idea minutes later and get praised for his innovative thoughts. Even in corporations that hire a lot of women, it’s still harder for them to get promoted. The fact that we have so few female CEOs and board members is telling. Without the education, many women would not even get through the door.
