Megatrends for Women

From "good ole boy" politics to the medical establishment, from organized religion to professional sports, the women of the 1990s are challenging and overturning the male-dominated status quo, reintegrating female values and perspectives and recasting the social, political, and economic megatrends of the day. In Megatrends for Women, Patricia Aburdene and John Naisbitt, the internationally respected social forecasters who gave us the number on bestsellers Megatrends and Megatrends 2000, now outline the ways women are transforming every sector of contemporary life.

Drawing on a wealth of data on social change, the offer example after example of women making a difference as CEO's, athletes and political and spiritual leaders. The women's movement has reached "critical mass," say Aburdene and Nasbitt, the point at which a trend becomes a megatrend. There may be setbacks, but women's march toward equality will henceforth become unstoppable. Chapter by chapter, Megatrends for Women documents the sweeping changes women need to be aware of to be empowered now and in the future.
