[Iowa-dx] The role of women in our USA society

[Libris Fidelis]

I just learned this from my final class at UofI's Nonprofit Organizational
Effectiveness II:

In a video lecture titled Collaboration / Dissolution / Merger /
Accountability of Nonprofits by Professor Willard Boyd, the following
information was gleened by me into my class notes:

•  The role of women in our USA society – women make the basic
    economic decisions
    +   women influence over 80% of consumer goods
    +   women influence over 80% of health care decisions
    +   women buy 50% of all of the automobiles and may influence the 
remaining
    +   40% of all of the households of over $600,000 are headed by women
    +   women start new businesses at twice the rate of men


Pretty interesting stuff, huh?   He hasn't mentioned politics yet.
