The Unique Role of Women in Business

Eva Wathen discusses the pressures that women in enterprising families may face.

Especially if they are pioneers, I think they have the pressure of being perfectionists, fixing a lot of things quickly or being like the mothers of the business, and it’s putting a lot of pressure on them, because I mean, they are naturally the mothers of their children, they are naturally the daughters of their mothers. And when they take over a business they will somehow, implicitly, they still have, they have the same kind of role, so it puts a lot of pressure on them.
