Can women save the economy?

Katty and I prescribe a novel solution in the Outlook section of the Washington Post: women could be the answer to our economic ailments. There’s a hefty batch of research that shows the more senior women a company employees, the more money it makes. And a lot of evidence that women manage differently–we are more cautious and inclusive, while men are more competitive and prone to risk-taking. Nick Kristof discussed some of this a few months ago, but we take it one step further by suggesting that the only way women will get to the top is in a more flexible workplace. Let us know what you think.

About

Claire's the one in red, Katty's in grey. We're both reporters--Katty for BBC, Claire for Good Morning America. Writing Womenomics (a New York Times best-seller!) is one of the best things that we've ever done. It was a labor of....complete passion. Who wouldn't love the subject--it's our lives. But we learned so much along the way--about our power--and about how other women pull it off. And we had a blast working together--even though we were warned that teaming up might destroy our friendship. Ha! I think our husbands worried we might run off together.
