Reseña del libro "Fearless: How to Avoid Self-Sabotage and Become a Successful Start-up Entrepreneur (en Inglés)"
n FEARLESS the authors, two women, who have forged through life building upon what their mothers before them accomplished and taught them, sat down to discuss and to write about the changing roles of women in society. And about how these changes challenge and create opportunities for women today.Both authors share a passion to empower and equip women through pain to freedom to flourish in entrepreneurship (whether within an organization or self-employment), as they firmly believe that we are stronger collectively. Women are warriors and there is an immediate need to ban together against the eradication of enslavement and trafficking of women and children worldwide.

They provide clear and concise informed content about where women historically have been socialized to be, the impact of economic trends in the US and globally on gender roles, and provide insight on how women can take a seat at their table, if they so desire. Today in the United States and in the developing world, women are better off than ever. We stand on the shoulders of the women who came before us, women who had to fight for the rights that we take for granted and do not always exercise.One truth remains though, men still govern most of the countries in the world. Of the 195 independent countries, only 17 are led by women.Even though women are over 50 percent of the college graduates and make up of overall population in the United States, the percentage of women entrepreneurs (only 5%), in corporate and board leadership and elected congressional officials is not comparable with our gender counterpart.Proportion of seats held by women in national parliament in 2014, was 19.4% (genderstats.un.org)Leveling the gender disparity on the playground, is now possible, when assets, resources, and innovation is leveraged to deconstruct beliefs about leadership, work, love, and play.
