Santa gets all the credit. He hears what people want for Christmas and personally delivers it, but I bet Mrs. Claus is the brains behind the whole operation. This year it’s time for Mrs. Claus to share in some of the glory. While Santa is off doing his thing and eating all the cookies ...
Women who work full time are already seeing their wages grow at twice the rate of men’s, according to the UK’s Office of National Statistics.

While most people understand the ideals and support them, whether or not they use the F-word, there are the people who are convinced that Feminists want to take over the world — rather like an alien invasion.

Women have made great strides towards evening the playing field in education and the workplace, but we still can’t wave the equality flag when some places are noticing these changes more than others.

On April 12, 2011 women have finally earned what the men made last year, by working an additional 102 days. Although women can feel some sense of satisfaction considering the great strides ...
