The governing body that runs the capital's Square Mile found female applicants were discriminated against by rigid, and sometimes automated, screening of their CVs, which did not take into account career gaps related to caring for children or relatives, or only narrowly considered their professional experience.

Despite owning nearly half of all small businesses in the U.S., women often encounter barriers to financing. I've seen from my experience at the SBA and now First Women's Bank, that one of the biggest drivers of the gender lending gap isn't just rejection, it's that many women don't come forward for financing at all. Whether due to lack of awareness, confidence, or systemic hurdles, "access" captures both those who are denied and those who never apply.

Hot take: I love Galentine's Day way more than Valentine's Day. This could be because my birthday is pretty close to Valentine's Day, so I feel like I always get jipped, or it could be because I just love hanging out with my girlfriends and celebrating female friendship! Either way, Galentine's Day is the best made-up holiday there ever was.

There she had seen her older brothers Lee and Peter sparring, and got involved.

Born out of a realization that men are being promoted even as women are professionally regressing, the damning report highlights how it is mothers who are most likely to have lost or left their job since the onset of the pandemic. The project also found that those women who remain employed are more likely to work from home and shoulder a heavier burden of day-to-day tasks than their male colleagues.

I've always worked, even after having children, but like many women, I squeezed myself around my husband, Neil, who was the breadwinner, working in the insurance industry in London. Between having our two daughters, who are now 22 and 18, I became a stay-at-home mom. I looked after the children and the house, and managed to shoehorn my own part-time career as a counsellor and therapist around that.

Why, Damon, why, why, why so pressing? The Heart you beg's not worth possessing: Each Look, each Word, each Smile's affected, And inward Charms are quite neglected: Then scorn her, scorn her, foolish Swain, And sigh no more, no more in vain. Beauty's worthless, fading, flying; Who would for Trifles think of dying? Who for a Face, a Shape wou'd languish, And tell the Brooks, and Groves his Anguish, Till she, till she thinks fit to prize him, And all, and all beside despise him?

Life has truly been life-ing here in 2026, and the only way any of us moms are going to make it through the darkness is by finding spots of light. And, sometimes, that means we have to be the spot of light for ourselves.

For me it just came naturally. When I started doing super fights age 14, 15, and it just came naturally to me to just walk confidently into the cage or the mat or wherever I'm fighting,

The man I was supposed to marry was someone I had known since childhood - five years older, from a wealthy Sikh family, my sister's classmate, living on the 14th floor of our high-rise building in Mumbai. He was my first crush. When I was 12, with oily braids and Coke-bottle glasses, I thought he was handsome and charming. I spent hours imagining what it would be like if he chose me.
