Three articles on what we should call “The female economy” together with a poll on what American Women want have been published by Fortune, The Sunday Times and Time Magazine.

Fortune publishes the annual ranking “50 Most Powerful Women in Business“, where you can enjoy their profiles and see how the world of powerful women is evolving.

The Sunday Times presents some success stories in a male-dominated arena in the article “Hedge fund heroines outdo men in City“.

Time Magazine – that talks about “The female economy” in its Style & Design special – presents “Women in Fashion“, the stories of 12 women that “are redefining Luxury”

Last but not least, Time Magazine again publishes the special “What Women Want Now“: “The Rockefeller Foundation, in collaboration with Time Magazine, conducted a landmark survey of gender issues to assess how individual Americans are reacting. (…) The study found that men and women were in broad agreement about what matters most to them; gone is the notion that women’s rise comes at men’s expense. (…)”

Past and recent studies and experiences show how relevant advice is and how mentors have been and are important in the professional life of leading men and women .

Fortune devotes the cover story to “The best advice I ever got”, asking a host of influential leaders to share with us the wise words that changed their lives forever.

The cover article focuses on what it was like growing up Gates as both father and son reflect on the advice that has influenced their careers (read the article “Best advice: Gates on Gates“).
