Women across Cultures or Introduction to Business

Women across Cultures: A Global Perspective

Author: Shawn Meghan Burn

This text examines the role that culture plays in women's past oppression and future equality, but argues that the most important issue facing women—their lower status and power—is universal. After a thorough explanation of why women lack equal power, Burn suggests what we might do to change this condition. This activist perspective offers the reader a clear understanding of the steps that can be taken to improve the circumstances of women's lives.
