Throughout history, women have struggled to change the workplace, change government, change society. So what’s next? It’s time for women to change the world! Whether on the job, in politics, or in their community, there has never been a better time for women to make a difference in the world, contends author, mentor, and corporate pioneer Susan Bulkeley Butler in
Women Count: A Guide to Changing the World. Through her experience as the first female partner of a major consulting firm and founder of the Susan Bulkeley Butler Institute for the Development of Women Leaders, Butler’s unique insights have changed the lives of countless women. In
Women Count, she shows readers how to change the world through a series of inspiring case studies that chronicle how she and other pioneering women in a range of fields have done so in years past. Women represent half of the country’s population, half of the country’s college graduates, and around 50 percent of the country’s workforce. Butler envisions a day when they will also make up their fair share of elected and appointed positions, including in corporate boardrooms. Amid financial meltdowns, wars, and societal struggles, never before has the world so greatly needed the unique abilities of women to lead the way. But as history has shown, to make change, women must step into their power and become “women who count, ” Butler contends. Then and only then, she argues, can women truly change the world.

เกี่ยวกับผู้แต่ง
Susan Bulkeley Butler has been proving that women count ever since she became the first female professional at Arthur Andersen & Co. in 1965 and later the first female partner of what would become Accenture, the global management consulting company. Now, as a philanthropist, mentor, speaker, executive coach and CEO of the Susan Bulkeley Butler Institute for the Development of Women Leaders (www.sbbinstitute.org), she is fulfilling her lifelong passion of making an impact on women and girls of all ages and helping ensure they too become women who count. Her first book, Become the CEO of You, Inc., was published in 2006.
Bob Keefe has been a writer, editor and journalist for more than 20 years, most recently as the Washington correspondent for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper. He and his wife currently live outside of Washington, where they’re watching their three daughters grow into women who count.
