Orvana Williams Reflection 9

After reading both articles looking at gender politics through the light of capitalism there’s about three different ways a gender lens can help with our thoughts alongside varying factors. The first step is to get access to capital by involving women as both investors and investees. The second is encouraging workplace equity, which involves utilizing capital to respect gender diversity in leadership and promote equal rights across the company’s value chain, from top management to the shop floor. When we examine the abilities of men and women to access capital through a gender lens, we see that there are significant differences. Women have historically had difficulty obtaining investment funding across all industries, from shopkeepers to filmmakers to high-tech entrepreneurs, despite evidence that women-led businesses may provide greater and more consistent returns in business growth.
