women in the world. The article begins, "It take more accomplishment
than ever to get on this list. Reason: More women are taking over
corporations, nonprofits and whole governments." Actually there are
also articles on important women in business, important women in the
media and important women in politics.

Discussion Starters

  • Ask students if they agree with the following statement, "We
    study too few women in school." Encourage them to support
    their opinions.

  • Ask students if they agree with the following statement, "Even
    today, society is prejudiced towards women." You might have
    them write a response to this statement as a blog.

  • Ask students to interview one woman professional that they
    know to find out how they think that their experiences as a
    woman help them be successful. If students don't know any
    professionals, have them look up a law firm or medical practice
    on-line and contact one of the professionals there, to interview.
    These professionals might be contacted through email.

  • Have students select one individual mentioned in the Forbes
    article and write a more extensive biography of the person, a
    biography that will require additional research.
