Story here. Excerpt:

'Years ago, Nell Merlino started the “Take Your Daughter to Work” movement.

Now, she’s focused on all those girls who grew up, served their country, and are now interested in business; female veterans like Angela Cody-Rouget.

“Her business is called 'Major Mom,'" Merlino explained. "She and her four kids moved 19 times in 19 years. She now has a business helping people move and organize their homes.”

Major Mom has become a hit. But the founder acknowledged in this promotional video she had to learn how to think like a businesswoman.

“Some of the how-to-do-it in the civilian world is not apparent, and that is what I am learning to do here," she said.'

... learn to go into business for themselves. Just think the time-worn argument feminists have proferred that it's bad to waste half the nation's potential by not engaging women in the realm of employment and business leadership... well, seems they've jumped headlong into Double-standards-land. (No news there.) After all, male veterans are just as likely to find success in starting businesses too, right? But it doesn't matter so much, does it?
