The corporate and business world has always been male-dominated, but during the last several years, women have started to claim their share of the pie. However, in spite of the numerous corporate female success stories out there, a lot of women are still hesitant to break free from the housewife stereotype. Now ladies, don't get me wrong; being a stay-at-home mom is perfectly acceptable, if that truly is your choice. However, if you have that inkling to put on a suit or if you ever have the urge to put on your entrepreneur hat, then by all means, look in to it. Of course, this is not to say that you should drop everything and start a business, but if the idea ever crossed your mind, then it's something worth examining.
