April 22nd 2013 - Riga, Latvia - Indra Nooyi, Meg Whitman, Irene Rosenfeld, Ellen Kullman, Patricia Woertz have a few things in common, they are CEO’s of monumental, multinational, giant corporations; they are American corporations, they are women, they are mothers and they are listed in Forbes top 10 most powerful women. Does that mean that only powerful woman can exist in the United States? What about Europe? South America? I wanted to write a piece that recognizes the power and the strength successful woman outside the US have and the determination, persistence and dedication to succeed both at home and in the workplace. It is an attempt to underscore the shining brilliance of women in less equitable situations who rise to the top and succeed despite the sociocultural conditions that make their climb so much harder.

Quería escribir un artículo que reconociera el poder y la fuerza de las mujeres fuera de Estados Unidos, aquellas que con determinación, persistencia y dedicación logran el éxito tanto en su hogar como en el trabajo. Es un intento para entender la perspicacia e inteligencia de las mujeres en situaciones menos equitativas, que llega a la cima y tiene éxito a pesar de las condiciones socioculturales que hacen su ascenso mucho más difícil.

Viņas ir monumentālu, daudznacionālu un gigantisku amerikāņu korporāciju vadītājas, sievietes, mātes, kuras turklāt ir iekļautas žurnāla Forbes ietekmīgāko sieviešu Top 10. Vai tas nozīmē, ka sievietes tikai ASV var būt ietekmīgas? Kā ar Eiropu? Dienvidameriku? Es vēlos pastāstīt par stiprām un veiksmīgām sievietēm ārpus ASV, kā arī par viņu apņēmību, neatlaidību un centību gan mājās, gan darbā. Šis būs mēģinājums izcelt to sieviešu izcilību, kas mazāk taisnīgās situācijās spēj sasniegt virsotnes un gūt panākumus, neraugoties uz tādiem sociāli kulturālajiem apstākļiem, kuru dēļ karjeras veidošana ir daudz sarežģītāka.
