And they just published their new book: “50 Years of Ms. The best of the pathfinding magazine that ignited a revolution.

318: The Case for Good Jobs with Zeynep Ton
This month on the Well Woman Show, the topic is workplaces that work for women because when women thrive, families thrive. And when families thrive, whole communities thrive. I share my analysis of the future of work, workforce development and economic development ecosystems and interviews Zeynep Ton, a Professor of the Practice at the MIT Sloan School of Management. She is also president of the nonprofit Good Jobs Institute, where she works with companies to improve their operations in a way that satisfies employees, customers, and investors alike. Before joining MIT Sloan, Ton spent seven years on the faculty at Harvard Business School. She is the author of The Good Jobs Strategy: How the Smartest Companies Invest in Employees to Lower Costs and Boost Profits and the new book, The Case for Good Jobs: How Great Companies Bring Dignity, Pay and Meaning to Everyone’s Work. A native of Turkey, Ton first came to the US on a volleyball scholarship from Pennsylvania State University. She received her BS in industrial and manufacturing engineering there and her Doctor of Business Administration from the Harvard Business School.

310: Innovation and Technology for Gender Equality
This month on the Well Woman Show, we celebrate International Women’s Day as well as Women’s History Month. The theme of the United Nations Observance of International Women’s Day is “DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality”, recognizing and celebrating the women and girls who are championing the advancement of transformative technology and digital education. The observance will explore the impact of the digital gender gap on widening economic and social inequalities, and it will also spotlight the importance of protecting the rights of women and girls in digital spaces and addressing online gender-based violence.
At the IWD commemoration event held at UN headquarters in New York, UN and Member States representatives, technologists, innovators, entrepreneurs, youth, and gender equality activists celebrated the women and girls who are championing the advancement of technology and innovation and their potential as a transformative mechanism for achieving gender equality. The annual event also addressed the existing gaps for women and girls in accessing digital spaces and skills, as well as the dangers they face from online violence.
According to UN Women, gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. There has been progress over the last decades, but the world is not on track to achieve gender equality by 2030.
The social and economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic has made the situation even bleaker. Progress in many areas, including time spent on unpaid care and domestic work, decision-making regarding sexual and reproductive health, and gender-responsive budgeting, is falling behind.
