This just ticked across my Facebook timeline and is quite timely to this discussion. Of the top 100 investors on the Midas List, how many do you think were women? A whopping 5, with the top on appearing as 42 on the list. There is a desperate need for mentoring and role modeling for girls in fields outside of teachers and moms. Not dissing teachers OR moms, seeing as I went to school to be the first and have been a practicing mom for 21 years. There just aren't a lot of women role models in the more male-dominated fields.
