U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce Releases Transformative Report on The Women-Led Economy™ and Announces Regional Meetings

Focused leadership leverages women’s powerful purchasing power to consummate women’s long path to economic leadership

USWCC Report: The Women-Led EconomyThe U.S. Women’s Chamber of Commerce released a groundbreaking report laying the foundation for a transformative new future for women as market leaders through The Women-Led Economy™. This report challenges the conventional view of women primarily as employees and breadwinners within our families and calls upon women to take the lead by focusing our tremendous purchase power with women-owned firms, building our own economic resources and institutions, and working together as market leaders to advance our objectives.

The U.S. Women’s Chamber of Commerce takes issue with two recent, influential reports – “The Shriver Report: A Woman’s Nation,” which presents women as employees and family breadwinners and the Harvard Business Review report, “The Female Economy,” which views women as consumers. The U.S. Women’s Chamber of Commerce argues that neither report grasps the transformative opportunity women now have to focus and leverage our clout as consumers and business owners to consolidate and leverage the gains women have made over the last one hundred and sixty years to shape the business and employer marketplace to reflect our values and objectives.
