			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being a feminist and discussions around this topic is one of the most exciting subject in women forums on the net. It seems almost energizing that the definition of feminism would vary from one person to another. Some people think about feminism as an opposite to femininity, other &#8211; about equal rights for women.</p>
<p>What did it mean to the famous women in our history? Where did they gain their inspiration for being ahead of their time and just being different? Think of Hypatia of Alexandria (379-415) who was a mathematician and astronomer. Think of the famous women artists of Renaissance, the period when women were generally considered not suitable for working in fine arts. The story of Sofonisba Anguissola (1535-1625), Italian artist, is one of the most romantic biographies of famous women artists. She had received the best possible education in fine arts her father could assure. Yet, she had never had a chance to study anatomy and draw nude models, which was considered then unacceptable for a female. Instead, she searched for possibilities of a new style in portraiture with subjects set in an informal way.</p>
<p>Sofonisba was trained by Michelangelo, who thought very highly of her. She joined the Spanish Court of the King Philip II in 1558, which became an important turn in her career. Getting married at the age of thirty-nine was another event unusual for a woman of her time. Unfortunately for Sofonisba, her husband died 8 years later. At the age of forty-seven, Sofonisba met a much younger captain of the ship, Orazio Lomellino. Beloved and supported by her husband in her artwork, the great woman lived happily until her death at the age of 93. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finding a gift for that special woman in your life can be difficult. Sometimes it&#8217;s hard to choose something you know they will like that will be unique and meaningful. If this sounds familiar, you could probably use a little help. You can&#8217;t go wrong with candles. There are very few women that will not enjoy a candle with a refreshing scent. And what woman doesn&#8217;t look forward to a relaxing candlelit bath? You can always find a use for a candle, so even when you don&#8217;t know what that special woman in your life wants, you can be sure that they&#8217;ll enjoy a scented candle.</p>
<p>Flowers are a beautiful and thoughtful way to express you love or appreciation. Even when you don&#8217;t have a clue what to get for a birthday or anniversary, you can&#8217;t go wrong with a bouquet of fresh flowers. Certain flowers also have specific symbolic meanings. Before you head to the nearest florist, do some research and figure out what emotion you are trying to express to your loved one. Chances are there is a flower that represents that feeling perfectly. If you are looking for a gift that will reflect how much you care for them, a framed picture can be an excellent way to represent that, particularly if the picture is of you and that special woman. A framed picture shows that your feelings for that person are meaningful enough that you took the time to have the picture matted and framed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When the first generation of women entered the workforce in earnest in the 1970s, they succeeded in the only way they could &#8211; by imitating men. Authoritarian leadership and tight control was the hallmark of that day&#8217;s businessman, and women were not exactly welcomed into the ranks of management. That was yesterday, and today is today! Business woman needs to be able to build a vision based on the awareness of economic transformation, then help her partners and staff fulfill that vision. She must draw on a wide range of skills to get to the top and stay there. Following are 7 key characteristics that are essential:</p>
<p>1. Sell the Vision: A leader with a fresh, independent plan for her company&#8217;s growth and future has a distinct advantage in luring and keeping great talent and investors. Vision is not some lofty ideal, but an obtainable concept that is easy to understand and will make the company grow to another level.</p>
<p>2. Reinvent the Rules: While women have traditionally been socialized to please others, the 21st century leader knows that good girls rarely post great returns. The strong managers/owners today not only anticipate change, they create entirely new organizations that respond to shifts and search for innovation.</p>
<p>3. Achieve With A Laser Focus: Go where others fear to tread! Being aggressive and ambitious has long been considered male traits, but they are key qualities for new leaders. Today&#8217;s business woman has the ability to home in on opportunities that others may simply not see, and then excel in that uncharted territory.</p>
<p>4. Use High-Touch in a High-Tech Era: When a number of leaders are conducting business by e-mail, voice mail, passwords, and PINs, the female entrepreneur succeeds because she guides with a strong, personal, bed-side manner. Today&#8217;s business woman is just as technologically savvy as her peers, but her skill with staff and customers is &#8220;high-touch&#8221; which gives her a critical edge and separation from the &#8220;pack&#8221;.</p>
<p>5. Challenge or Opportunity? &#8211; Women are great at turning a challenge into an opportunity instead of using the &#8220;slash-and-burn&#8221; approach. They are able to make bold strokes, but they also win the cooperation of others in the organization in making any transformation a success.</p>
<p>6. A Customer Preference Obsession: In this information age which makes it easier to shop around for the best &#8220;whatever&#8221;, businesses must work harder to give people what they want before their competitors do. There is no substitute for spending time with clients to become expert at their businesses and learn their demands. Female leaders are almost intuitively adept in doing just that, and without the client even suspecting.</p>
<p>7. Courage Under Fire: Show me any career woman or female entrepreneur today that isn&#8217;t able to &#8220;stand-the-heat&#8221; in any tough-call situation. Their decision-making skills are rooted in a high level of confidence, because they&#8217;ve had to weather and surpass any and all &#8220;corporate&#8221; storms they&#8217;ve encountered over time.</p>
