Editorial: Gorgeousness
Deepika PadukoneSomeone recently asked me why I spend so much time writing about women and Asian women in particular. Well the answer is elementary, my website stats tell me that's what you all like to read! So this week I've been talking to Bindi Karia, Queen of StartUps at Microsoft, read the latest report on 'The Glass Ladder' (as opposed to the glass ceiling) and joined in the debate about who is more gorgeous - Deepika or Angelina?

Glass ceilingThe lack of women on the boards of Britain's top companies has nothing to do with the 'glass ceiling' but because there is a shortage of women ready to step up to the board table says Kathleen O'Donovan, co-founder of Bird & Co, an agency that trains women for the boardroom. Bird said: "There have been too many reports about glass ceilings which lament the lack of women on boards but provide no answers". right arrow read more
