Women reach for high notes in male world.
(From Lloyds List)
Byline: As Wista's Singapore conference takes a practical theme, writes James Brewer
GINGER Rogers always matched the punishing pace of her dance partner Fred Astaire.
He was the choreographer in the perfect screen duo, but Ginger injected those thrilling extra steps in high heels, too.
Today, when women are contributing that little extra pizzazz on the commercial scene, the partnership is rather out of kilter.
In European boardrooms, women occupy just 8.5% of the seats. A similar intentional or unintentional quota probably applies to the maritime sector worldwide.
Many women have qualified for and hold responsible jobs in shipping and other branches of the law, but in insurance, on the high seas and in certain specialised sectors including shipbroking, they are very much a minority.
