“…the most influential people are mothers. When it comes to wanting to change their way of life, mothers are at the front of the line.They are hard workers often giving everything they have to give their children a hope of a better future than what they have had. Many mothers work numerous jobs and wake up at the first sign of daylight to walk miles each day to fetch water for their families. Women are often devalueddevalued in many of the countries where we work and yet they are many times the backbone of their communities”

“Women’s biology, their temperaments and their unreliability in the face of domestic commitments all rendered them less desirable for certain jos – regardless of evidence which might have indicated to them otherwise. All of these assumptions about masculinity and feminity play their part…and help achieve…the ‘gendering of organisations’.”
Watson, p.205
