My friend and collaborator, Liz Solomon, recently introduced me to the work of Celia V. Harquail, author of the book, Feminism, A Key Idea for Business and Society. She's leading what she calls a Feminist Buisness Revolution.

In March of this year she gave a talk at the SheEO World Summit in Toronto. It offers a clear and succinct introduction to her refreshing perspective. 

""We should be working towards an economy shaped by and supporting the values and goals of feminism. Feminism is a worldview and a political movement for all of us to end oppression and sexism, to establish equality and justice and to create a world where everyone flourishes. That's the ultimate goal. 

""So if we take feminism, the values of feminism, the goal of feminism, and we put it into the economy, here’s what we’re going to do. We're going to challenge and change systems of power that create oppression and support domination. As we dismantle this systems we’ll also be building new systems that support equality and justice, that support participation by all of us, that support care and relationships, and then ultimately provide what we all need to flourish. 

""The word 'provide' is very important within feminist economics. 

""Instead of focusing on buying and selling for profit, feminist economics examines a much larger sphere of activity. Feminist economics focuses on what we do to provide for each other what everyone and every living system needs.""
