Women ledaers and profitability, is there a correlation? Earlier research show different outcome on the correlation between Women leaders and profitability. A Swedish consultant firm, Caran has a belief that more Women leaders would create more financial profit, we ask us if that is the true situation. Using two different IC measurement methods we have shown the difficulties in calculate intagible resources, which methods that can/ can not be used and if Women leders create financial value. We found the Women leaders in Caran to add more value per dollar spent on the woman leaders than the value added per dollar spent on men leaders.

This study analyses the german writer and artist Unica Zürn´s novel, The Man of Jasmine,1970 (Jasminmannen). Zürn was mostly active in the surrealist avantgarde in Paris during the 1950ies - and 60ies. The male surrealist images of Women was polarised in to the godlike, child and the erotic, convulsive object. The mythologizied woman was the muse of men´s creativity. But still there were many Women artists who participated in the movement, so clearly there was something in surrealism that attracted Women.

I have done a comparative gender study of Library of Congress Classification from 1900 and 2001. I have also used a hermeneutic method and ideological critics to find out what picture of Women the both systems shows.

The aim of this study is, using the Swedish expression ?kulturtant? (cultured lady) as starting point, to understand how and why Women consume the products of the culture industry more eagerly than men. The study is using the concepts put forward by Pierre Bourdieu; fields, capital and habitus. It is a qualitative study based on discussions in focus groups, interviews and material gathered through Google Alerts. In the literature this gap between the sexes with regard to the higher consumption on behalf of Women has been referred to as the ?puzzle? of Women´s cultural consumption.The empirical results show that the Women in the study are well aware of what they want to gain by participating in cultural activities like reading, going to concerts, watching plays or going to the movies.

The purpose of this study is to describe the motivations of Women to participate in politics and to examine whether Women feel that they are held back by something in their political participation. The questions of this study are:How do Women motivate their participation in different fields in politics?Are there any obstacles that are holding Women back in their political participation? Interviews have been used as the method to gather the empirical data. When applying the theoretical framework on the empirical material the main conclusion is that Women tend to participate more frequently in political activities that are less time consuming and more sporadic in comparison to more traditional forms of political participation. Women are also more inclined to participate in political activities on a lower level that makes up part of their everyday life, one example of this is Women?s increasing participating in political consumerism. Keywords: Politiskt deltagande, kvinnor, motivation, politik, politisk jämlikhet, politiska sfärer.
