A lot can happen in a decade. Ten years ago, I was blissfully living my life firmly entrenched in the DINK category (dual incomes, no kids), with not much of a care in the world if I recall. I now have a three-year-old daughter, which brings an altogether different sort of […]
Having only one woman for every four men in Parliaments globally is a sure sign of how poorly societies are doing at harnessing the potential of a staggering 50 percent of the population. Sadly, this trend of the greater the seniority in leadership, the fewer women, also permeates both the […]

This issue, as we have promised, we have continued the conversation of women in the workforce and gender equality at senior levels. In this issue, we focus on the concept of women supporting other women. Many of those we have interviewed on the subject have spoken about that damage that...
Designed and engineered in Germany, but refined Down Under, M2woman Editor test-drives the small car that’s a big deal for one of motoring’s most iconic marques. Coming up to two years of being a new parent, your before-baby identity can take a bit of a beating – of the makeup-less, […]
It has been 125 years since New Zealand gave women the right to vote, and yet many of us still face a battle for fair representation amongst the workplaces, the industries, and the private and public sector companies that drive our economy and our livelihoods. It almost seems like you can’t […]
One hundred and twenty-five years since New Zealand women were given the right to vote, we still seem to be fighting for our voice. Obviously, there is a vast difference in gender equality in the workplace between 1893 and 2018, and we currently have another female PM, which we have...
