I’ve worked with an international nonprofit and seen firsthand the community-wide benefit of uplifting girls; you make a very good point that the developed world, for the most part, fails to recognize how empowering women can change the outcome of business and cultural ventures. Some of what Denmark is doing in terms of bringing women into boardrooms, and Scandinavian countries in general are doing to create gender parity in government are beginning to touch the consciousness in America, but such a long way to go!
