Influence: How Women's Soaring Economic Power Will Transform Our World for the Better

By Christine Larson and Maddy Dychtwald

In the United States and in very many nations around the world, women are on the cusp of new financial power -- and evidence suggests that women will use this power to improve society in ways we can only begin to imagine. Through candid interviews and lively reporting, and with exclusive research, Dychtwald reveals a huge cultural transformation that is about to occur -- a true tipping point -- after which more children may have quality health care and education, workplaces may be more responsive to families, men may experience new freedoms and opportunities to pursue more meaningful careers, and more corporations and nations will be led by women, and they will thrive. Dychtwald and Larson give us a sneak peek at the world turned right-side-up by women. To read this book is to prepare oneself for an altered -- and improved -- way of life.
