Elizabeth Paul (’03): Neverthless, we persist
This session will cover how women persevere in the midst of adversity, and how that adversity can unlock our strengths. Women make up roughly half of the American workforce yet still make 85c on every dollar paid to men; and only 10% of Fortune 500 companies have a female leader at the helm. As women enter (or make our way) through the workforce, we must learn to thrive amid less-than-ideal circumstances — even as we create change to make it better for the women coming up behind us.
