Amazon.com Review
For those who want to support women's rights with their purchasing power, Phyllis A. Katz, Ph.D. and Margaret Katz (mother and daughter) investigated over 400 companies around the world to find out which corporations and countries support women's rights. Looking at statistics such as quality of benefits and women occupying top positions, the Katzes apply FEM (Feminist Evaluation Measure) ratings to determine who's deserving of business support. Among mailing services, for example, Federal Express easily outranks DHL, Airborne Express, and UPS. Consumer clout is an oft-neglected power, so it's exciting to have the information at hand that will assist expressing your views.
