“When we support the growth and empowerment of women and girls, we raise the quality of life for everyone. This is because when women lead they not only lead businesses, they lead in their community, they fight for their children, and they give voice to issues that are important to our collective future — like education and health care.” - Tabby Biddle Huffington Post
“Leadership training. Single sex education, whether it be girls' schools or single-gender classrooms, give girls the opportunity to take on leadership roles and interact with women in positions of leadership. A survey conducted by the National Coalition of Girls' Schools found that 93% of the women surveyed felt that they had more leadership opportunities and that 63% felt they were well-prepared for the "real world.” “There are common traits that unite successful women. Discipline, drive and ambition are some of them. But when one digs deeper into the essence of what — or who — played a role in career success, more often than not, most women will name a mentor.” Karina Flores Hurley- Latina Magazine |
