Women of style as well as accomplishment

Do you know what you’re worth? How do you ascertain your value – as a worker, a creative, a woman, a man, a spouse, a parent? As a member of society? I’ll state this up front. This isn’t the usual morning musing. But hang in. It may be useful. What is your job worth? In […]
