Also am little worried about some of the lines you use as there are ample public examples of women having "persona/public image" "organisational power"..Be careful you are getting into a debate needing much more analysis then simplistic compilation!<br />mira<br />P.S.: am not able to post this as a comment so sending you this mail!<br /><br />from Mira Desai: mirakdesai@rediffmail.comDr. Meenakshi Upadhyayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05673437079205909812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145210462844050357.post-20210623502617297912010-03-15T21:23:33.441+05:302010-03-15T21:23:33.441+05:30Thats quite a food for thought from all of you tha...Thats quite a food for thought from all of you thanks, such issues normally spark a debate!

It's a difficult task to be perceived as firm, assertive and authoritative rather than a nag or a b***h.<br />3. Whether men will be able to accept the change. After all it's been 'their' domain all these years.<br />4. Whether women will be able to treat men and clients as their equals and not allow themselves be intimidated by them.<br />5. Lastly, whether women will be able to do what men do and not say "This is a man's job". <br /><br />Let me be clear that I don't mean ANYTHING more than what I have said.

We can make it out from the current scenario of woman's bill in parliament, how it is opposed. Thus similar case happens in PR field too.When this field becomes feminized, moreover, female and male practitioners alike confront the prospect of dwindling salaries and prestige happens. So this might be the reason And the challenges faced by the females.<br />Thank-you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145210462844050357.post-63910381190762408842010-03-14T13:43:56.137+05:302010-03-14T13:43:56.137+05:30I feel Women in PR are doing well till their 40...I feel Women in PR are doing well till their 40's. Their commitment to family prevents them from frequent travels and stretched working hours. Here men take the advantage.<br /> We see lot of men working in PR firms after retiring from other jobs. But do we see or are we accepting any elderly women in the PR desk?<br />Hence it might take one or two decades to see more PR women at the top level.C.R.Jayaprakashhttp://crjayaprakash.comnoreply@blogger.com
