Her Iron Will Opened Doors - Elizabeth Cady Stanton and her Contribution to the Growth of the New Nation
By Chloe Lizotte
Women today have the right to vote, have the same jobs and educational opportunities as men, and are represented in the government. But consider what life was like back in the 1800s and earlier: women had no rights at all compared to men.

Often the dissatisfaction they feel has been with them for a long time, simmering in the background. On the "bad days" they are ready to walk out the door without looking back. But then things settle down again, they are back quietly grumbling to themselves and feeling less than contented with their decision to "stay a little longer." They become increasingly frustrated with their own indecisiveness ("What's wrong with me?") and have no clue as to how to solve the twin riddles: "Should I leave or should I stay?" and "How will I know when it is the right time to leave?"

Upcoming Network Events:
"At a recent WITI Boston event, I met a former client from 10 years ago when I worked for another company. We sat together at the meeting and got re-acquainted. Since then, my former client has introduced me to several IT executives at their firm to generate interest in our services, which may lead to new business. This demonstrates that networking and participating in WITI events can have very positive results...both professionally and personally."
